The metal straw is preserved and remains a famous medical specimen at the Anatomy and Pathology Museum at UC San Francisco.
Yeah this didn’t happen.
But people do chip their teeth on metal straws, so it’s still a bad idea to use them in cars without those silicone bumpers.
Pretty sure someone hallucinated this or there is another Phineas Gage I can’t find because this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage had a 3 foot iron tamping rod put through their skull by a powder charge.
I assumed it was a joke playing off of the actual gage?
yeah it read plainly as a reference to me but people also tell me other people don’t know the kinds of things I do a lot of the time.
And there seems to be no “anatomy and pathology museum” in UCSF
Thank god we have reusable silicone straw, safer than both one-use plastic straw and stainless steel straw.
I dunno… is that surgical-grade silicone?
I’m not planning on doing surgery with it.
Well some of us aren’t cowards
meanwhile in uruguay :
They have to put up signs begging people to not bring mate on the bus, or to vaccinations, or paperwork at government buildings.
Why, actually?
TIL mate is to Uruguay what durian is to Thailand.
pshaw … I can put a plastic straw through a potato
Didn’t Mythbusters has an episode about if this was possible?
Surely there’s a picture of this specimen?
