A Splitting Headache

6-inch spear removed from diver's brain: "SAO PAULO, Brazil - Surgeons successfully removed a 6-inch fishing spear from the brain of a man who was struck while diving off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, doctors said Sunday.

Emerson de Oliveira Abreu apparently fired the spear, which ricocheted off rocks and penetrated his own head so deeply that only the tip was showing, family members and authorities said."

Hat tip to Angela Crider.
