I know one shouldn't laugh but...

An Australian astrophysicist has been admitted to hospital after getting four magnets stuck up his nose in an attempt to invent a device that stops people touching their faces during the coronavirus outbreak.  Luckily, despite going to hospital, no serious harm was done. Just as well he wasn't researching alternatives to toilet paper.

When I read it, it reminded me of Gerard Hoffnung's wonderful telling of the "Bricklayer's Story".

Adam Kay’s book This Is Going to Hurt has plenty of stories of people ending up in A&E after trying some sort of ill advised experiment. Some would bring tears to the eyes!
