I think every parent has probably had at least one experience with having their child say “Mom/Dad, look what I did!” and subsequently really wishing they hadn’t looked.

In what has to be a play for the first ever NMHB sympathy award, check out this x-ray and it’s accompanying caption:

“Dr. Abdul Manan, a surgeon at the Nishtar hospital in Multan, points to an x-ray of a glass bottle lodged in a man’s lower abdomen November 21, 2007. A 60-year-old man came to the hospital to have the Pepsi bottle removed, which he said armed thieves had inserted in his anus before robbing him of two buffalos”

Today’s entry is a tad unusual for NMHB, but definitely qualifies. I was doing some guitar research and ran across this entry of acousticguitar.com’s Q&A: Ooh, That Smell
