Journal tqft's Journal: Story of the day - but needs pics 2

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/05/25/3226586.htm
"Steven McCormack was working on his truck at Opotiki on the North Island on Saturday when he slipped between the cab and the trailer, dislodging the compressed air hose that feeds the brakes, the Whakatane Beacon reported.

It said the brass fitting that the hose had been attached to pierced Mr McCormack's left buttock in the fall, sending compressed air rushing into his body.

The 48-year-old said he felt as if he was going to explode and began to scream as his neck, feet and hands swelled up."

      Comic book/cartoon stuff - sure Bugs Bunny or Wile E Coyote could take it, not sure I could cope after whether I was physically ok or not.

On the eighth day, God created FORTRAN.
