 “Not tonight, honey. I have a headache…and will for the next 50+ years…” |
| This one is pretty impressive. A 77 year old woman in China has had headaches for 64 years and finally went to the hospital to get some medical attention. And it turns out that the headaches were caused by a bullet that was lodged deep in her brain. Oops. The bullet got there because way back in September of 1943, her mom asked her then-thirteen-year-old daughter to take food to her father who was fighting the invading Japanese. And when the Japanese soldiers saw her, they opened fire on her. According to the article, the bullet somehow managed to pass through someone’s arm and then hit her in the ear, where it went into her brain and knocked her unconscious. Her mom treated her wound with herbal medicines, and she recovered 3 months later. |
| Now, doesn’t it seem a little un-parent-like to send your young daughter out to give food to your husband who may very well be getting shot at? Wouldn’t you try to protect your children from getting shot at like that by going yourself? I dunno…maybe she had like 8 other kids or something. How would you be able to choose which kid to send, though? “Well, Junior, you don’t pick up the eggs from the chickens as fast as your brother does, so I’ll send you to get shot at….but then again, Carey, you’re too much like your father with that temper you have, so maybe I’ll send you…and let’s not forget little James, setting the house on fire 4 times…ooh, this is a tough one.” |
