Nailed It of the Day: Dante Autullo, a Tim Taylor-esque fix-it father of four from Orland Park, Illinois, accidentially shot himself in the head with a nail gun, and didn’t realize it until the following day.
While building a shed in his garage, Autullo hit himself in the head with his nail gun. Thinking the nail merely grazed him, and finding no serious wound, both Autullo and his fiance Gail Glaenzer went on about their business.
The next day, feeling nauseous and experiencing a major headache, Autullo visited a doctor who found the source of the problem right away: A 3 1/4-inch nail was embedded in his brain.
“When they brought in the [X-ray], I said to the doctor `Is this a joke? Did you get that out of the doctors joke file?” Autullo told the Associated Press. “The doctor said `No man, that’s in your head.”
On his way by ambulance to surgery at another hospital, the 32-year-old posted the X-ray to his Facebook page.
The operation was a success, and Dr. Leslie Schaffer at Advocate Christ Medical Center says there is minimal damage to brain tissue, and Autullo is not likely to experience serious side-effects.
“He might forget to take out the garbage or walk the dog, but who doesn’t?” said Dr. Schaffer.

The most common sin of economists is to take a point which is true in part and mistake it for one which is true in full. We so enjoy being contrarian and refuting sacrosanct beliefs with the clean and frictionless logic of economics that it doesn’t quite satisfy to point out that these beliefs are simply less true than people think, but must insist that they are fully false.
