MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF WITH CROSSBOW

Last Saturday, a man casually walked into a hospital in Nanning, China, with a crossbow arrow sticking out of his chest. The 21-year-old, identified as Mr. Peng, had accidentally shot himself while loading his crossbow. The bolt missed his heart by just two-tenths of an inch. Mr. Peng underwent a successful one-hour surgery to have the bolt removed. A doctor on the surgical team said he has since regained consciousness and is in good spirits, and he can speak and eat without issue.
* Drinking, however, gets a little leaky.
* So, what’s the deal with the crossbow? Do they have Renaissance Festivals in China?
* I’m surprised it’s technically possible to load a crossbow while pointing it at yourself.
* Last name: Peng. First name: Cupid.
* You’d think in the 2700 years since crossbows have been around they’d have figured out how to put a safety on those things.
