Hard as nails cons' new game also Missing hammers found

    BONEHEADED Romanian cons have invented a bizarre new game to help pass the time — hammering NAILS into their skull.

    One convict was so proud of his latest effort that he left the nail embedded in his head for TWO DAYS before letting prison officers finally remove it.
    The disturbing distraction technique only came to light when an ex-con decided to share his jail experiences with some pals on the outside.

    But dim-witted Radu Popescu, 39, from Sibiu, had only ever played the game sober before — and after a few drinks, he drove the nail into his head so hard it got stuck.

    Craze


    He had to go to hospital to get the nail removed.
    A stunned medic said: "It's no shock to anyone here that he missed his brain.
    "It must be a very small target."
    Popescu had been on an all-day bender with pals before putting the nail against a wall and HEADBUTTING it to celebrate his release from jail.
    He told local media: "There was nothing to do in jail, it's just one of the ways we passed the time - whacking nails into our heads.

    "It doesn't hurt. It became quite popular after somebody accidentally threw a dart that stuck in another man's head and everyone thought it was really funny.
    "He didn't hurt himself and just pulled the dart out and after that it was a craze in the prison."
    It took doctors two hours to remove the nail after locking his head in a special clamp and carefully levering it out.
    Prison officials have tried to stamp out the craze but say so far no one has been seriously hurt.
    A prison services spokesman said: "They are pretty good at doing it and they seem to know just how much force to use to get the right effect."

    Drunk man got two hammered
    A DRUNK Romanian thought he'd hit on a good idea to solve his toilet troubles — sticking TWO HAMMERS up his bum.
    These incredible x-rays show how Viorel Firoiu attempted to nail his severe constipation with the help of his handy tools.

    The intoxicated 48-year-old turned up at his local hospital complaining of excruciating stomach pain.

    Worried doctors, in Orlea, southern Romania, carried out scans and were knocked sideways to find he had not one but TWO hammerheads stuck in his rear end.

    Hospital spokeswoman Dr Cristina Bontescu said: "He was a bit drunk and said he had been eating cherries that had left him badly constipated

    He said he had a few drinks to dull the pain and then came up with the idea of poking a hammerhead up his backside in the hope of sorting out the constipation.

    "But the hammerhead got stuck and then he came up with the idea of using a second hammerhead in order to try and get out the first - but then he lost the second one as well."

    Surgeons had to perform surgery to remove the striking objects.

    After his drunken episode we're sure Firoiu won't be getting hammered again for a while.
