Friday Snippets and Soundbites

• Scalpel. Heart monitors. Claw hammers. All tools of the trade for doctors, right? Wait a minute, claw hammers? Yep, that's right. A doctor in Kansas used a claw hammer to remove a nail from George Chandler of Shawnee this week. Chandler and a friend had been working around Chandler's house, mounting lattice to his deck and using a nail gun to make the work faster and easier. At some point, the hose on the nail gun got caught and Chandler's friend had to work to free it. When he did, the gun discharged. At first the men couldn't find the nail, then the friend saw it, sticking through Chandler's cap. He called 911. At the hospital, doctors removed the nail and sent Chandler home. Need to know more?

• Chris Martin, lead singer of the band Coldplay, walked out on an interview with Britain's Radio 4 yesterday in a strange turn of events. Coldplay's latest album, Viva La Vida or Death to All His Friends released in the UK yesterday and streets in the US on Tuesday. Martin was apparently uncomfortable with the interview from the outset, and left the interview after only a few minutes, saying he was not enjoying himself and didn't enjoy having to talk about things. Drummer Will Champion remained in the studio answering questions until the frontman returned to answer the final question. . . vaguely. Still confused? So are we! Read more here.

• With the International Space Station's bathroom repaired and the Japanese lab delivered and up and running, the Space Shuttle Discovery is expected to return to Earth tomorrow. Garrett Reismann, who has lived on the station for three months, is also hitching a ride home via Discovery. In their last day of orbit, the crew is expected to check out its flight control systems and steering jets in preparation for landing. Read on, my friends, by clicking here.

• Visitors are flocking to a nature preserve in the Tuscan region of Italy to see a "unicorn" deer. The year-old dear was born in captivity and has a genetic disorder that caused a single horn to grow out of the center of his head. His twin has two horns, according to officials.
