Just When You Think Things Can't Get Any Weirder

Quoting from Reuters:
Doctors say a large, dead section of 25-year-old electrician Sambhu Roy's skull came away Sunday* after severe burns starved it of blood. ... the skull's inner covering and the membrane which helps produce bone was miraculously unaffected, allowing fresh bone to grow.
Predictably, the event has drawn a crowd to Roy's hospital bedside.
I suppose we should consider ourselves fortunate that the flaked-off piece in no way resembles Mother Theresa. Incidentally, Roy plans to keep the bit of bone, rather than selling it on eBay.
* I can't help thinking this is one of the best lead sentences I have read since, "As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect."
