A diner who had too much to drink fell on a dinner table and impaled his head on a more than 15-inch-long metal rod that pierced through his mouth at a restaurant in China.
The diner was eating with his co-workers when he stood up and slipped, falling onto a table, on which there was a long metal rod, South China Morning News reported.
The intoxicated man, named only as Aqiang, was impaled on the rod, which went through his mouth and deep into his skull, according to the report.
Chilling X-rays show how close the rod came, just 2mm away from damaging critical areas of his brain.

Too much “rocket fuel” as the Chinese call it.
Sum Ting Wong?....................
Don’t drink and dine.
Too much cold tea?
“The intoxicated man, named only as Aqiang”
Sounds like Aqualung was pretty wasted there.
I very often think, what if I lose my balance and fall on that?
That’s what also came to my mind. ‘Aqualung’.
“That’s what also came to my mind. ‘Aqualung’.”
I once read that if you’re given the beginning and end of a word, you’ll fill-in the rest with whatever comes to mind. For me, I was just playing that song a week ago, and its been in my mind daily since.
Seems to me, I heard the same thing. Haven’t heard ‘Aqualung’ in a while, but I did hear something by Jethro Tull recently. Funny how the mond works.
“Funny how the mind works.”
Too funny. I hadn’t thought of that song in at least a decade...heard it last week, now see the dude with the same name (or close enough) taking one for the team!
I don’t have to worry. I can barely afford to eat out anymore and alcohol can double the cost of the meal. My wife and I just order water.
“The intoxicated man, named only as Aqiang, was impaled on the rod”
Aqiang, now known as “Spike” by his friends.
“But other than that, how was the poo-poo platter?”
My first concern was a lawsuit against the restaurant. Then I saw China. What a relief I felt.
At least he was anethesized when he fell on the rod. Probably didn’t feel and doesn’t remember a thing..
