The metal straw is preserved and remains a famous medical specimen at the Anatomy and Pathology Museum at UC San Francisco.
Pretty sure someone hallucinated this or there is another Phineas Gage I can’t find because this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage had a 3 foot iron tamping rod put through their skull by a powder charge.
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.
Didn’t Mythbusters has an episode about if this was possible?
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
