man regains sight by getting a tooth in his eye

Martin Jones, 42, was in an unfortunate accident 12 years ago that left him blind. A tub of hot aluminum exploded in his face and burned his eyes and 37% of his body.

The fire completely destroyed his left eye. Fortunately, the doctors were able to save the right eye, but it was damaged and blinded.

Mr. Jones remained blind until recently when he received a new and delicate procedure:
Doctors removed one of Jones' canine teeth and inserted into his eyeball.

The canine tooth had been removed and was first inserted into his cheek for three months. There, the tooth grew some new tissue and blood vessels. The tooth was then drilled and fitted with a special optical lens.

Finally, in an amazing procedure, Dr. Christopher Liu inserted the tooth into Mr. Jones' right eyeball where it now serves as a lens-holder.

Mr. Jones is thrilled to have his sight back. He has now seen his new wife for the first time and is observing all the changes that have taken place around him in the last 12 years.

He said, "The first car I saw when my sight was restored was a Smart car and I couldn't stop laughing – I'd never seen one before and I thought it had been chopped in half.

"Getting my sight back has changed my life. It is such a precious gift and you don't really appreciate it until it is taken away.

"I have been so fortunate that my sight has been returned. I find it such a simple pleasure being able to see what is going on in the world."

prisoner steals computer from jail

It is pretty certain that Willima* K. Bradley is not the brightest student at Western Michigan University. For that matter, he is not among the smartest criminals in Michigan, either.

On January 31st, a new computer was delivered to the Kalamazoo County Jail, where Bradly was serving time. Possibly thinking that a new computer would help him at college, Bradley decided to steal it.

Even Bradley realized that keeping a stolen computer in your cell is a little difficult. So, he took the computer, wrapped it in a plastic bag and hid it near some bins, planning to pick it up at a later date.

Unfortunately for Bradley, security cameras recorded the whole thing. Bradley was immediately arrested and charged with stealing a computer from the jail where he was being incarcerated.

At his trial, Judge Gary C. Giguere, Jr. said, "This is the dumbest crime I've heard today. It may be in the top half-dozen in my career... You need to get a handle on this theft thing, Your life of crime is not working out."

Despite Bradley's suggestion that he be sentenced to counseling sessions, Judge Giguere sentenced him to an additional 120 days in prison.

*this is the spelling of the name that appears in the article. It should probably be "William"... but you never know. :)

unfortunate names for advertising

our National Anthem-- the way it should be sung.

I posted this video a year ago-- and recently found that the original had been removed from You-Tube (making my link useless). So, in honor of July 4, I am posting it again. This video is touching... and it makes me respect Mo Cheeks even more.

young thug attacks older boxer. guess who wins.

Seeing the bruised-and-bloody face of a 23-year-old doesn't usually make people smile... but here might be an exception:

Gregory McCalium, 23, broke into a home in Botley, Oxford, England with intent to collect some things that didn't belong to him. Unfortunately for him, the owner of the home, Frank Corti, age 72, was home at the time.

Apparently thinking he had an easy mark, McCalium pulled a knife and threatened Mr. Corti with it. What McCalium didn't know at the time was that his would-be victim was a former boxer.

Corti gives this account of the event. "I was scared when he first drew the knife, but my old training must have kicked in because I just punched him as hard as I could and he went down like a sack of spuds..."

A sack of spuds indeed. Corti dodged the knife and delivered just two quick punches to McCalium's head-- one to the eye and one to the mouth. The picture (above) shows the success of the punches. After Corti disabled McCalium, he restrained him until the police arrived.

McCalium was tried in Oxford Crown Court on Monday. He was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison for aggravated burglary. The judge added that he "got what he deserved."
