Man With A Nine Inch Knife In His Head, Survives

Some guys are as tough as nails...then there's this guy:

A NINE-INCH knife juts out of a US soldier’s brain in an X-ray taken after he was stabbed in Iraq.

Sergeant Dan Powers was probing the cause of an explosion when a teenager ran up and plunged the blade into his head.

Sgt Powers, 39, said of the July attack in Baghdad: “I felt a bump but didn’t know I had a knife in my head as the brain has no pain-sensory nerves.”

Sgt Powers, who serves with the 118th Military Police Company, has since made a near-full recovery.

His teenage attacker was arrested.

You will never hear me say *Damn, this hangnail is killing me* ever again.
