Shears go through man's eye socket and into head - horror gardening accident - video, USA
An 86-year-old Arizona man survived after a pair of pruning shears went through his eye socket and half way into his head when he fell while trimming plants in his garden.
The handle of the shears penetrated six inches into Leroy Luetscher's head - and, amazingly, he survived with nothing more than slight swelling and minor double vision.

The 32-year-old wants to be an enormous 115 stones (1,610 pounds). "The bigger I get, the better I feel," she says. "I feel confident and sexy". Susanne would then beat Carol Yager, of Flint, Michigan, who is thought to have reached 114 stone before she died in 1994 aged just 34.
According to the Sun, Susanne is already heavier than three baby elephants - or the combined weight of the four-man Manchester United defence.
