Holy crap! When 86-year-old Leroy Luetscher fell on his pruning shears while gardening, the handle penetrated through his eye socket and down into his neck, resting against the carotid artery. Surgeons in Tuscon, Arizona were able to remove the shears and save his eye! Luetscher has some swelling in his eyelid, but is expected to make a full recovery with no lasting damage to his eyesight.

Culture Buzz People wind up with a lot of strange things in their bodies. If you think it’s inconceivable that someone could swallow a 10-pound hairball, there are x-rays to prove it. Take a look!
TV Buzz I'm afraid some dogs have developed taste for more than just your homework. How about that missing underwear (thong preferred) or pacifiers (27 in total), and even money (all $800 of it)? Nat Geo Wild has a show called “My Dog Ate What?” with all of these and other crazy stories, starting tonight at 10.
When you're drunk, you don't always have the best ideas, but at least this guy had follow-through.

From the Science is Awesome Department: researchers have shown that it is possible to produce X-rays by simply unrolling Scotch tape. Only in a vacuum, though, so sadly this does not mean you can amuse yourself in staff meetings by x-raying your finger.
Culture Buzz A new security scanner being tested in Australia can see through clothing and is being described as a “virtual strip search.” Here’s hoping there’s not a screenshot feature with the new technology, or your genitals might be gracing your ex’s Facebook profile REAL soon. In the meantime, those security agents’ job description just got a whole lot better.
Science Buzz The British have developed a new camera called the ThruVision T5000 System that can see through clothes at up to 80ft away. Before your perverted heart goes all aflutter, you’ll be disappointed to find out that the x-ray exposes no physical anatomical details, and the technology will probably only be used in airports to like, make sure you’re not carrying a machine gun or a giant block of cocaine.
