because the new metal straws have pierced the brains of anyone who did them.

I am confused by this, straws go in the mouth, if people are sticking them in their brains, they’re doing it wrong, or are you saying there is a crack team of assasins out there who’ve vowed to keep this knowledge secret in a particularly gruesome manner?

I implied that I fell from the monkey bars, and since I was drinking through a straw, I fell head first onto my water glass with the straw in my mouth that was below me. A common misconception of metal straws is that they are dangerous and can pierce through the mouth into the brain.

I guess I could specify where the glass is in the experiment.

  I mean it depends on the diameter of the straw. If the straw is thin as a needle, i imagine it sure can. I mean it’s only about the pressure, not the total amount of force. And pressure is force per area, so if the cross-section area of the straw is small, it will generate enormous pressure and that can surely pierce your skin.

    No need to pierce the skull if you’re coming from underneath.
