BERLIN (AP) — German doctors say a man spent 15 years with a pencil in his head following a childhood accident.
Aachen University Hospital says the 24-year-old man from Afghanistan sought help in 2011 after suffering for years from headaches, constant colds and worsening vision in one eye. A scan showed that a 10-centimeter (4-inch) pencil was lodged from his sinus to his pharynx and had injured his right eye socket.

It’s an interesting story to publish in a San Francisco fishwrapper, a city where many have had their heads up their a** for far more than 15 years.

If he was good at doing sums he'd have worked it out years ago.
Anyway,wouldn't having a pencil in your head give you lead poisoning?

Folks have had worse in their heads and lived..the wood would have likely kept enough of the lead from being exposed is my guess.. lucky, yet..

There is no lead in a pencil lead. Graphite.
