1. The Kansas City man shot the thing into his own head when his nail gun went off accidentally.

2. You’ll never guess what the doctor used to get the nail out. (Click to find out.)

If You Don’t Like Detailed Medical Photos, Don’t Click This
But if they don’t bother you, check out the clearest-ever video and photos of human ovulation. Their incredible detail has put them in the history books, as this–the time when life starts, basically–is difficult to predict and therefore capture on film.

A Horse and a Vasectomy Reversal to Save His Species
Since Przewalski horses from China and Magnolia are endangered, the Smithsonian Institute’s National Zoo reversed the vasectomy of *Minnesota,* a Przewalski with a particularly valuable ancestry. Making natural breeding possible again for an endangered animal is significant, of course, but what caught my eye is the May 6 date for surgery success “confirmation” after the fall procedure.

So I’m guessing the confirmation involved a sample/test sort of situation? Think about it for a minute.
