Schoolboy Oblivious To Pencil In Lung

LONDON (Reuters)
A British schoolboy carried on enjoying life for six weeks oblivious to the fact he had a pencil embedded in his lung, the Daily Mail said.

The pencil speared fourteen-year-old Roy Rowlandson when he was knocked to the ground while playing at school. It had been in the inside pocket of his blazer.

The Daily Mail said the bruised boy was taken to hospital but an X-ray failed to show up the pencil. He was taken back six weeks later when his parents spotted a lump on his chest and a special scan found he had graphite and wood in his lung.

``He has got to be the luckiest kid on the face of the earth,'' said the boy's father.

``He appeared to be as fit as a fiddle after his accident. He has spent the past six weeks enjoying football games and rollerblading.''

    You think the British would know that a pencil wouldn't necessarilly show up on an X-ray. According to Brits, they're the smartest people on earth.

    Running up bar tabs on credit cards is a good way to find yourself in debt, but also is an excellent way to forget about your creditors.
