Monk accidentally glues eyes shut
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1296733.html?menu=news.quirkies

A man who accidentally glued his eyes shut has had his sight partially restored.

Phra Khru Prapatworakhun, a Buddhist monk, mistook the tube of glue for eye drops.

Doctors at Angthong Hospital, north of Bangkok, used a chemical solvent to dissolve the glue in the monk's right eye, reports Sky News.

A hospital spokesman said: "His eye is not damaged, the right eye can see clearly after the operation and the doctors said the left eye also is not damaged."

Phra had gone to the temple's medicine cabinet looking for eye drops to soothe an itch. But mistakenly, he took a tube of superglue instead.

"I squeezed several drops on the floor and saw a clear liquid, so I put four drops into each eye. In about a minute, my eyes felt cold and then sealed closed."

He then applied paint thinner to try to get rid of the glue, which only caused his eyes to burn.

:lol

Poor guy is going to be laughed at. It was an honest mistake.

Sounds like he got MUNK'D.

 

[belgurdo]

If he were a Shaolin monk he would have foregone going to the hospital and developed a martial art around this concept

Honest, but stupid.

So you keep super glue in your medicine cabinet as well?

 

[Dan]

Okay, so the glue was a mistake, but pouring paint thinner into your eyes? Yeah... after the glue thing I think I'd stop and just get help as clearly I was doing something wrong.

1. Aren't Budhists supposed to not give a shit about intense pain? If so, then what's a fucking itch?
2. In both eyes? This guy = stupidest monk ever.

Someone's being naughty around the Monastery again.

 

[whytemyke]

nobody ever said monks had to be smart.

I thought monks could read though. usually I look for more than a common color when putting stuff into my eyes.

You can't read when your eyes are teh itchy.

Gigglese

 

[Dan]

Is no one else noticing that he proceeded to pour paint thinner in his eyes? That, to me, seems the dumbest part of this story.

:lol :lol Oh god that's too much.

 

[Great King Bowser]

How did he apply paint thinner when he couldn't see anything?

 

[Matlock]

"You little bastard, I'll get you for this!"

 

[miyuru]

Man, the paint thinner is the kicker :lol There's just something funny about someone elderly doing this (but maybe he wasn't, who knows). I mean, a monk of all people! :lol

 

[Pellham]

funny story but.. aren't most stories from Ananova bullshit? Just look through their archives for gems like the story about the woman who didn't age while in a coma, then suddenly aged 20 years after waking from it.

 

[FightyF]

LOL @ Matlock

 

[cvxfreak]

:lol:lol

Never in my wildest dreams...

 

[Truelize]

:lol I know a chick that did that. She's not the brightest but she was diggin in a girlfriends purse for some eye-drops and accidently grabbed a tube of crazy glue. She was hurtin pretty bad for quite awhile.

Who's to say he put it there? It was in the temple's medicine cabinet, after all.
