I think you can be killed instantly - or at least rendered unconscious instantly with death following quickly - by a well-placed blow to the temple.
Back of the head is more likely for a quick death. That's the part of the brain that keeps you breathing.
I have a scar on the bottom of my chin, and also one on my cheekbone.
Bro of college roommate was horsing around with others in a parking lot, the car he was sitting on moved, he fell off the hood and hit his head. Lungs collapsed, coma, dead in a week.
Bony bits and facial scars - it is as ita says. I managed to split open my softball teammate's cheek with a lame-o groundball during some batting practice a couple weeks ago. We were on a crappy hard lumpy field and the ball took a bad hop and bopped him in the left cheek. Left a little scrape on the meaty part of his cheek, but split it open right on top of the cheekbone. Nine stitches - one inside and 8 outside.
I've got the standard issue scar-under-the-chin, with four giant stitch marks, possibly acheived via bunkbed dismount, circa 1970. Gotta love army health care (Dad was army back then).
Just got back from the flu shot--no owies for me! I didn't even notice that the shot was happening.
it is as ita says
almost got through this whole sentence with only 4 letters.
I seem to have a ball-up-and-roll instinct that has helped me avoid any scarring of the chin.
the shot didn't huurt - till I tried to sleep on my left arm last night
Five letters is still pretty impressive though.
lori and Robin are scaring me with their instant death stories.
I've split my chin twice.
TWO rows of stitches, baybee!
