February 19, 2011 by THECOUNT.COM "ALWAYS OPEN! Since 2005!"

BEIJING China: Surgeons finally got around to removing a 4-inch rusty knife from the noggin of a dude, after four long years.

Although Li Fuyan, 30, complained of bad headaches and breathing problems, doctors had been unable to locate the cause until now. Li said he was involved in a mugging four years ago and got struck in the jaw. The blow to the head was actually a stabbing and the blade broke off in Li’s skull.

Amazingly Li did not realize he had the knife lodged in his person. Doctors say Li is expected to make a full recovery and is resting comfortably.
