MAYBE he should have stuck to playing video games - an adventurous ten-year-old boy in the US state of Missouri is recovering after he was attacked by wasps in a tree house, falling to the ground where he was impaled face-first onto a meat skewer.
The metal (below) penetrated about 15cm into his skull, but miraculously missed his eyes, brain and major blood vessels.
The boy's horrified mother told the Kansas City Star that she saw her son walk into the house screaming with the skewer "just sticking out of his head".
Doctors say the youngster is likely to make a full recovery, although his voice may be slightly affected.

The product would not aim to intoxicate customers, but rather be used for pain relief.
