Like a hole in the head…


Yes, witz.org thought we were having a bad day until we saw this:

This X-ray picture shows a 5-centimeter nail stuck in an unidentified South Korean patient’s skull Thursday, Dec. 2, 2004. According to a Seoul hospital, doctors found the nail after the man came to the hospital, complaining about a severe headache. They speculate that the nail stuck in the man’s head four years ago in an accident but the man didn’t know about it. The nail was removed in a surgery last Saturday.

McRorie: so much music from one man!


New dad and witz.org supporter Jason Roth forwarded this piece of goodness: a Canadian one-man band simply named ‘McRorie’.

Surely the greatest thing to happen to Canada’s music scene since Glass Tiger, McRorie has melded Eighties electronics, shorts kilts, and ponytails and created one-man band musical nirvana. Genius.
