PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) -- Doctors at Portland's University Hospital said
Wednesday an Oregon man shot through the skull by a hunting arrow is
lucky to be alive, and will be released soon from the hospital.
Tony Roberts, 25, lost his right eye last weekend during an
initiation into a men's rafting club, Mountain Men Anonymous, in Grants
Pass, Ore.
A friend tried to shoot a beer can off his head, but the arrow
entered Roberts' right eye. Doctors said had the arrow gone 1 millimeter
to the left, a major blood vessel would have cut and Roberts would have
died instantly.
Neurosurgeon Dr. Johnny Delashaw at the University Hospital in
Portland said the arrow went through 8 to 10 inches of brain, with the
tip protruding at the rear of his skill, yet somehow managed to miss all
major blood vessels.
Delashaw also said had Robert tried to pull the arrow out on his own
he surely would have killed himself.
Roberts admitted afterwards he and his friends had been drinking that
afternoon. Said Roberts, ``I feel so dumb about this.''
No charges have been filed but the Josephine Coudistrict
attorney's office said the initiation stunt is under investigation.

I tested God and I got:

parameter symbol min max unit condition
------------------------ ------ --- --- ---- -----------
Transconductance gfs 500 uMHO Vds=20V

Gate-Drain Breakdown Volt. BVgds 30 V Ig=1uA

Saturation Drain Current Idss 0.2 1 mA Vds=20V

Gate reverse current Igss 0.5 nA Vgs=20V

Pinch off voltage Vp 0.3 1.5 V Id=10nA,Vds=20V

Common source input Cap. Ciss 8 pF Vds=20V

Common source reverse
transfer capacitance Crss 3 pF Vds=20V

Equivalent input noise Volt en 50 nV/sqrt(Hz) Vds=10V
Vgs=0;F=10Hz

Equiv. input noise current in 0.1 pA/sqrt(Hz) Vds=10V;
Vgs=0;F=10Hz

A little bit too much noise, but still fairly low leakage even by
modern standards.
