Brazilian Man Miraculously Survives Shooting Self In Eye While Cleaning Speargun

 

 

The spear entered the head of Bruno Barcellos de Souza Coutinho through the corner of his left eye — penetrating almost six inches before lodging itself on the top part of the brain.

 

 

” If he did not take fishing safety seriously before, this time he got the point.

Bruno Barcellos de Souza Coutinho, 34, miraculously survived accidentally shooting a 12-inch spear into his face.

The miserable harpoon mishap occurred Sunday night while the fisherman was cleaning his spear gun in Petrópolis, a city in the Brazil state of Rio de Janeiro.

The spear hit the corner of his left eye, broke through his skull, traveled six inches into his head and lodged itself deep into his brain for more than 10 hours, reported Portuguese language news site O Correio News.”

Hugo Chavez Outlaws Gun Ownership, Murder Rate Hits 21,692

 

 

” While the US murder total for 2012 isn’t in yet, the Venezuelan murder total has hit 21,692, up from 18,000 last year, despite a ban on private ownership of guns enacted by the Chavez regime this year.

Hugo Chavez’s government says the ultimate aim is to disarm all civilians, but his opponents say the police and government may not have the capacity or the will to enforce the new law.

Or enough bulletproof vests, from the looks of things.

Venezuela’s glorious Socialist murder rate still lags behind Mexico at 25,000 and Brazil at 40,000 or Obama’s Indonesian homeland at 19,000, but with dedication and commitment from all the workers and peasants, Venezuela will not only surpass the Yanquis, but utterly vanquish them in the number of people murdered each year. “

” The eyes of the world are on Carine Felizardo these days — but not her very pretty face.

Felizardo, a curvy Jessica Simpson-lookalike from the Brazilian state of Para, has just be crowned Miss Bum Bum, a title that rewards her for having the country’s sexiest female posterior. “

” The Miss Bum Bum Pageant is only in its second year. But — like the rear ends it celebrates — the cheeky contest is already grabbing the attention of the notoriously butt-loving Brazilians, according to Brazilian-born Graciela Murano, writer and editor for Oddee, who told The Huffington Post that “bumbum” is the word most commonly used in Brazil to refer to someone’s rear end.

“Every woman has read about it and won’t admit it,” she said, “and every man’s dream is to be a part of the judging team.” “

Shhh … Whatever You Do Don’t Mention the Fuel

As those who do not rely on the dinosaur media are aware , there is an energy explosion taking place around the world . Apparently those doom and gloom forecasts of “Peak Oil ” and a looming energy shortage were premature . 

Of course you would never know that if you depended on the old media and their green agenda driven coverage of the industry . Thankfully we have people like Walter Russell Mead to keep us abreast .

  ” Via Meadia has been commenting on the energy revolution taking place all around us these days (Energy Revolution: Part One, Part Two). Thankfully, we’re not the only ones who’ve noticed.

Chrystia Freeland:

[T]hanks to new discoveries and new technologies, the end of fossil fuels is not looking quite so imminent. From the oil sands of northern Alberta, to America’s massive pockets of shale gas (American gas reserves would last at least 75 years at current consumption rates), to the vast offshore oil reserves that Brazil hopes will make it the world’s fourth-largest producer by 2020, fossil-fuel sources we didn’t know about or couldn’t use are suddenly available. Crucially, many of these supplies are found in thriving democracies—a dramatic shift from the past, when oil and autocracy seemed to go together. “
