Hearing Sleep Baby Jane -- Over the Rhine
Lucky For Really Unlucky Values of "Lucky"
Teenager in bus accident has a four-foot-long metal pole shoved through his forehead, into his brain and out the back of his head -- and experiences no ill effects. That is, of course, except for having a four-foot metal pole through his head. Which is not an experience I'd want to have, personally. Yes, I know. I'm not open to new experiences and all that. However, in this case, I can live with that.
Note: There's an x-ray picture at that link that shows you just where that pole was. It's not gory (it's an x-ray), but it's not actually pleasant, either. The article also shows a picture of the kid in question -- after he's all better. Dude's got some scars, man.

Is his name Phineas Gage?
I bet the kid goes crazy later in life... and I say that with "well, he had a pipe smashed through his skull" factored into the "goes crazy" part. That was Gage's lot. -
Now the kid's got a good excuse for the lousy grades on his report card.
"Son? Care to explain these three D's?"
"Hello? Pipe in the head! You're lucky I even remember you're my father much less Algebra."
"Fine. Mow the lawn."
"We have a lawn?"
