This guy, who left the hospital with the greatest x-ray of all time. Yes, that’s a spark plug lodged *inside* his palm. Evidently, the involved parties constructed a makeshift launching apparatus from 3/4-inch metal tubing and an air compressor. It backfired. One very messy ride to the emergency room later, the plug was extracted. Didn’t even need surgery. Hero.
