A 20-month-old girl from New Boston, N.J. accidentally fell off the sofa when drawing and impaled herself through the right eye with a colored pencil. Remarkably, it missed every major blood vessel, nerve and artery and was successfully removed by doctors at Boston Children's Hospital.
In Dec. 2011, the British Medical Journal reported on a 76-year-old woman who went to a U.K. hospital with unexplained weight loss, only for doctors to find a felt-tip pen had been lodged in her body for at least 25 years. Not only did the pen miss perforating the small intestine, it still was able to write once doctors pulled it out.
In 2007, a German woman had a pencil removed from her head after it was lodged there during a childhood accident a remarkable 55 years earlier. A piece of a pencil about four-fifths of an inch long could not be removed.
