 From the Guardian Weekly, Jan. 28-Feb. 3, 2005, p. 11

Headline: China takes lead on stem cells; scientists amazed by work to
treat damaged nerves

First sentence: "When Jianhong Zhu treated a patient with a chopstick
lodged in his brain, not an uncommon injury in China, the utensil
ultimately helped repair the damage it had caused."

The rest of the article covered developments in stem cell research in 
China and Japan, but did not answer the  pressing questions of how 
the chopstick got into the brain and why this is not an uncommon 
injury in China.
