Not much changed for Dante Autullo the day he shot himself in the head with a nail gun.
Now, you would think that one would notice once a 3 and a quarter inch nail had been embedded in their brain, but in fact, it was not until the next morning, when he began to feel nauseous that Autullo even thought to seek medical attention. After viewing the x-ray shown here, Autullo asked if the hospital was playing a joke. While using his nail gun, he had slipped, sending the nail into his own brain, just millimeters away from the cerebellum, the area of the brain involved with motor skills. Autullo was able to feel the nail graze his head, but as there are no pain receptors in the brain, silly Dante was unable to detect that something had gone seriously wrong. On the way home from the hospital, he even stopped to post his x-rays to Facebook. Autullo underwent a two hour surgical procedure and had a portion of his skull replaced with titanium mesh, but is expected to make a full recovery.
PS- Mr. Dahlie, I think I really nailed this article. Ha. ..sorry.
