BERLIN - A 59-year-old German woman has had most of a pencil removed from inside her head after suffering nearly her whole life with the headaches and nosebleeds it caused, Bild newspaper reported on Monday.
Margret Wegner fell over carrying the pencil in her hand when she was four.
“The pencil went right through my skin — and disappeared into my head,” Wegner told the newspaper.
It narrowly missed vital parts of her brain.
At the time no one dared operate, but now technology has improved sufficiently for doctors to be able to remove it.
The majority of the pencil, some 3.1 inches long, was taken out in an operation at a private Berlin clinic, but the tip had grown in so firmly that it was impossible to remove.

Seems like they couldn't erase the whole thing from her mind, though.
Sorry, Shoogar, you need to sharpen your wit.
I suppose that's one way to keep your mind sharp.
And to think, some were ready to write her off.
The pencil is mightier than the sword.
I'd say she got the "point"
I wonder if she also has a lead foot?
i bet she got high marks in school.
"This is a stick-up!"
I don't get all these puns.
you guys are bad.
I bet she's old and german.
I don't know why she waited so long. I would have told her to get the lead out!!
She's a #2.
It's about time someone got the lead out.
The docs had penciled her in for that surgery.
This has lawsuit written all over it.
Pen-y for her thoughts?
Nazi anyone?
God I'm good.
No wonder you think that Fresh Prince is funny.Nazi anyone?
God I'm good.
I'll get right to the point, with penetrating truth.
Pencil "lead" is made from carbon, not metallic lead.
I was being sarcastic.
Either that, or just acting your ageI was being sarcastic.
