Miss. woman gets shot in head, but makes tea.

Let me make this clearer, she gets shot THRU CENTER of forehead all the way out other side with a .38.

shes not a zombie, she just really likes tea.

It would take a lot more than one bullet to keep me from my cup of tea.

QFT. The woman's clearly not a zombie. Just English instead.

Southerners are so polite. :)

From tea to human flesh, and they aren't even euthinizing the zombie.

Well, it will be entertaining to hear about the women who offered "FRESH MEAT" to the innocent mississippi deputy.

Nah, it's just proof they don't use their brains.

That poor woman. How long before she starts wishing the bullet had killed her so she would have been spared all the obvious and really really necessary jokes?

Yeah, she needs that like she needs a hole in the head.

:eek:

she probably spent the few minutes between getting shot and having the police arrive tidying up for company.

Duh, you didnt know that? How do you think we got these guys?

Brain matter and bits of skull can be hell to get out of the carpet.

The key is soda water and vanilla. You let it soak in for a little while and then blot. Don't you dare rub at it, that just sets the stain.

It was her bed though, she just had to put the sheets in the wash.

Now the mess of the husband on the back porch that would take a little elbow grease.

No... Zombies die when you shoot them in the head. I think this explicitly proves that they are not zombies.

I was wondering this myself, since when did Americans drink tea?!!?

clearly something far bigger than a women who is invincible is going on here :eek:

I note Southerners tend to drink Iced Tea a lot.

Primarily Sweet Tea...

Although, I hate Tea, everything except Green Tea and the Lemonade-Tea that comes in the can...cause it tastes like lemons anyway, lol...

But, I prefer Coffee myself...

case in point it is impossible for Americans to enjoy tea and thus it leads me to suspect this woman is in fact either an illegal immigrant, an Iranian spy (if it was apple tea) or a ghost

*awaits the decision of the jury*

lol, well, most Americans from the South do enjoy tea, Im more the exception around here...

I concur.

Nonsense I brew and drink sweet tea all the time...

Next time use a bigger gun.

See, that's why you don't mess with Southern women, they're bad-ass.

Most of the chicks I know prefer tea to coffee, especially at night.

I knew a guy who went through something vaguely similar, when he was shot in the head during a carjacking. He woke up thinking he'd been hit with a bat and went home, and didn't notice he'd been shot until he accidentally put pressure on the wound a couple days later and passed out immediately That finally prompted him to get it removed when he woke up. So I sort of knew that the brain is fairly flexible (you don't even need much of it, really - doctors sometimes remove one hemisphere or the other in rare cases where there'd be a benefit) but being shot clean through and surviving is really very astonishing.

They tend not to do hemispherectomies anymore...now they do what's called a Corpus callosotomy, cutting the part of the brain that connects the two hemispheres. Usually in patients with severe epilepsy, because that's where it's believed seizures are triggered.

Southerners are so polite. :)

Indeed.

We've been tea sippers since before there was a US....

Indeed, more or less. The description given sounds to me as if the bullet passed between the hemispheres.

As I understand it, it's also surprisingly common to have a bullet pierce the skin, deflect off the skull, and actually traverse part of the head and exit without penetrating the skull. Terminal ballistics can result in some funky counter-intuitive shit.

A bullet struck her squarely in the forehead, passed through her skull and exited through the back of her head, authorities said. She is expected to fully recover.

"When the officer got there she said, `What's going on?' She was holding a rag on her head and talking. She was conscious, but she was confused about what had happened," he said. "She had made herself some tea and offered the officer something to drink."

Clearly no vital organ was hit. Which leaves us a lot of speculation and humour.

You like your tea a bit salty, though.

Good point. This story is an excellent example of how to conduct a zombie hunt Just as our forefathers threw women in lakes to test their witchiness, we will shoot them in heads to check if they're zombies.

Not sure if you consider iced tea to be tea or not, but it's very popular in the South. It combines two ancient Southern traditions: pretending to be English, and imbibing lots of sugar. Lots of sugar. "Lets put the sugar in the tea while it's still boiling, so we can dissolve more in solution" lots.
