eraser head


can you imagine having a pencil stuck in your head for 55 years? Margret Wegner can. she fell over when she was four and and one went right up her nose. she only just had it removed... 55 years later.

Professor Hans Behrbohm claims the 3.1 inch pencil had not been causing Ms Wegner any harm, so it was safe to leave it. um... she suffered headaches and nosebleeds for most of her life and had serious frontal sinus inflammation... a little lead poisoning never killed anyone though so...

apparently the pencil had narrowly missed the optic nerve and was too close to the brain to risk removing it 55 years ago... he went on to say "she now no longer has headaches and will be able to smell again"... well... that's just... amazing...

moot or hooey?
apparently Ms Wegner was able to sneeze out raunchy Freudian imagery for years
