wallhackers beware...

Yeah, ummm I will quote the article for those who do not want to see the picture. It is pretty awful.

An argument between Counter-Strike players at a Chinese net café over suspected use of a 'wallhack' cheat led to a 17-year-old boy being stabbed through the head with a foot-long knife - and living to tell the tale. (Graphic Photo)

<<<Graphic photo removed>>>

Counter-Strike players in the Jilin province of China take cheating extremely seriously, as evidenced by the grievous wound suffered by one suspected cheater on March 16. The 17-year-old victim was suspected of using a hack that allowed him to see through walls, giving him an obvious benefit in the computerized game of hide and go kill each other.

A fight broke out outside the net café regarding the hack, and one assailant decided to do a little hacking of his own, stabbing large knife into the side of the cheater's head, the tip of the blade barely protruding from the other side.

Speaking for everyone reading this, ouch.
Accused Game Cheater Gets Knife Through Head and Survives
The boy, miraculously still conscious, was rushed to a nearby hospital. After around 10 hours of surgery, the knife was successful removed. The boy survived, but is under observation in case bits of rust - did we mention the blade was rusty? - flaked off inside his brain.

So how does someone survive a foot-long knife through the skull? According to doctors, the blade missed major arteries, which kept him from hemorrhaging, and managed to somehow avoid affecting motor skills even though the blade passed through areas that handle those functions.

The net café where the incident occurred was popular with local youths because it didn't require ID, a fact I'm sure some will consider to be a factor in the incident, but I've always believed that being an asshole with a knife is an ageless thing.

I'm not sure how the law works in China regarding stabbings, but somewhere there's a Counter-Strike player just as relieved that the victim didn't die as the victim himself.

Physician Yan Shi-jun, who operated on the young man, said that the chances of surviving such a wound were one in ten thousand. Those are pretty steep odds.

That is really horrible. They say he will 'live to tell the tale' but will he really be able to? I imagine this will cause severe enough brain damage to impair speech among other things.
 
the knife whent straight through the brain, isnt that physically imp[ossible to survive
 
Nope, there are people who have had half their brain surgically removed, and they survived.

It is typically done for severe seizures, as in constant, life threatening ones, as I understand.

It's called a hemispherectomy.
 
not if it hit non "needed" parts, such as sections for speech, muscular control (being paralyzed) ect

yeah, they said it didn't hit any major arteries and the kid (17 yr old) still has motor functions, wow, this kid was lucky, and the dude that did it is obviously a huge tool, he needs the death penalty, period, he tried to kill the kid, and because of a stupid game...

also, the kid is alive right now, but if there are complications due to rust (yeah, the worst possible knife that could've been used was used, a rusty one) he still could die...
