Boy Gets Butter Knife Stuck in Head

By Laurie | April 16, 2008

What is the world coming to? An 11-year old Canadian boy got a butter knife stuck in his head and was rushed to doctors by his frantic parents to have it removed. Apparently another boy got angry and threw the utensil at two of his peers, hitting one boy right in the head.

It’s not all bad for the boy that got hit though. The accident has made him somewhat of a television celebrity. He’s already been interviewed by Meredith Vieira on the Today show, so I guess it’s not all that bad.

  1. I dunno. I think the Mythbusters should look at this one. Is it actually possible for a child throw a butter knife so hard that it would go through skull?? Guess I’m just a skeptic. ;)

  2. Ok, coming back. I just googled it. It didn’t go through his skull. And based on the photographs (not x-rays) it only went about 1/2 way in. That’s way more believable!
