Just a few nails? Hell, that's nothing....

The X-ray pic is especially "eye catching".

When I was a kid there was a story in the paper about a man who was at
a party and shots were heard. Sometime later he had a terrible
headache. Took himself to the hospital and it was discovered that he
had been shot several times with a .22 in the head. All the buttets
traced a path inside his skull right next to the bone. None penetrated
to his brain. I wonder if it was an "Urban Legend". I thought it was
but after looking at the above x-ray I'm not so sure.

Sort of the inverse of that is the lady that thought
she had been shot in the head. She was in her
car and heard a loud bang, felt something against
her head and reached back and found "grey matter"
in her hair. Turned out a cylinder of those "pop n'
bake" dinner rolls had exploded in the back seat.
