Fascinating story of medical wonder.  The pencil must have lodged in the 80% of the brain we don't use/ need.


A 59-year-old German woman has had most of a pencil removed from inside her head after suffering nearly her whole life with the headaches and nosebleeds it caused, Bild newspaper reported.
