Giving new meaning to the word "spearheaded"


As reported by the BBC:
Medics at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami said the 3ft (90cm) projectile entered his brain over his right eye and went out the back of his head... He was shot with the projectile as he swam in a lake near his Miami area home on 8 June when his friend set off the trigger of a spear gun he was loading.
Fortunately he was a teenager, and survived with little damage.

    having had an extended stay in the trauma ward at Jackson Memorial, I can say he is in very good hands. One wonders at any possible personality order disruptions and other attendant changes.
