I can’t even begin to guess how something like this happened.
Ahh. Title of the linked article is “Pack of Cigarettes Explode Tearing Man’s Hand Apart”. Perhaps it is some sort of ultra-low-grade terrorism.
Sometimes people will do things like threaten to put razorblade contaminated babyfood on grocery store shelves unless the authorities pay a ransom. I’m wondering if this might be a similar case. Also, did the vicitm have any enemies or links to organized crime?
The insufferably smug bastards over at www.truth.com finally snapped!
Oops, I meant www.thetruth.com. The folks at www.truth.com are humble purveyors of hardware.
Even more disturbing is the link a little ways down the page: Man Fails to Remember How 10-cm Nail Got in His Head. Be warned, it does include a picture of the nail in the head which got my gag reflex going.
Heh…that’s exactly what I was coming in to post as well. Coincidentally, I just finished watching the “Boring” episode of The Young Ones.

That’s funny…I don’t remember ramming a skewer through my head…

Just one nail?!
How 'bout twelve?
Isn’t it obvious? It’s a message. As we move into the twenty first century, many Russians are saying that the old customs are pointless superstitions. The Baba Yaga reaches out a clawed finger to remind them that she is very real, and that so long as Russia endures, so will she.
Look not for a terrorist base, or the house of a lunatic, look to the forest for a giant hut that walks on hen’s legs.
OK, someone’s been smoking.
This must have been a slow news day in Russia…
