" i think this proves that people that stab themselves in the head with pencils and ink pens have thick skulls

Can't wait to hear about your testing to see if .22s bullets really bounce around inside a skul.....l"

"I've noticed that an overwhelming amount of people underestimating the strength of the human skull. I've heard people say that they'll jam writing utencils through the dome, or throw darts or knives, or maybe even bash it open with a stick or board.

But, in light of these recent claims, I decided to take matters into my own hands. First, I stabbed myself in the side of the head with a sharp pencil. The pencil broke. I then moved onto a plastic ballpoint pen. It also broke. Neither even made me bleed. Let's see you get those all the way though to the brain.

I then moved onto the throwing objects. Obviously, I'm not just going to let people throw sharp objects at me, even I'm not that dumb. So I decided to smash a 1" thick slab of plywood over my head, then a cedar 2x4(taking care of the board problem as well). I then had my friends and I throw crap at it to see the effect:

Darts: Glanced off both. One guy made it stick for about 2 seconds, before it fell.

Knives: much more effective than darts, actually got a few sticks into it. Still wouldn't trust my life on it, plus many bounces off(it was 1:2 between sticks and bounces, bounces winning majority).

Shurikens from the mall(to suit where most of our ninjas come from) : They broke. The spikes literally snapped on impact. Bad juju.

Tomahawks: it was difficult for most of us, and we couldn't really "barrage" the targets as much as everything else for fear of losing a limb or two, but the penetration was still the best."

"Once again, you fiend! :P"

"Using a deadly weapon in a deadly force encounter for a "distraction" seems a bit silly to me. "

"Just trying to avoid another debate about the effectiveness of throwing knives, this wiki has seen it before, and i dont think it deserves to be brought back."
