A "pencil head"!
BERLIN (AP) - German doctors say a man spent 15 years with a pencil in his head following a childhood accident.
Aachen University Hospital says the 24-year-old man from Afghanistan sought help in 2011 after suffering for years from headaches, constant colds and worsening vision in one eye. A scan showed that a 10-centimeter (4-inch) pencil was lodged from his sinus to his pharynx and had injured his right eye socket.
The unnamed man said he didn't know how the pencil got there but recalled that he once fell badly as a child.
The German doctors removed the pencil and say the man has recovered.
Hospital spokesman Mathias Brandstaedter said Wednesday the case was presented for the first time at a medical conference this week.

and the headaches gone ,he can carry out
Allah's wishes.
Years ago a truck driver came and he looked like he got punched in the nose. He said when he jumped out of his cab, he stumbled slightly and a bic pen in his shirt pocket jabbed him up his nose and he had to pull the pen out. His eyes were still watering 20 minutes later when he left. Next time I saw him 2-3 months later he told me that he was in bad shape for weeks and went to the doctor. They had to surgically remove the pen cap that was so far up his nostril he couldn't even feel the pocket clip! OUCH!
