ORIGINAL: baldjeanfriede The question also is how reliable this story is; maybe it is nothing more than an urban legend. After all, there are no names given at all. Even an agency like Reuters is not immune to falling for that. A true story that happened when I (Friede) was a kid and lived in Germany: There was a woman that was regularly beaten up by her husband, a co-worker of my father. One day she sneaked up on him from behind and hit his head with a heavy cast-iron frying pan. The man survived with a broken skull, and it was amazing how he changed. He suddenly became very docile; what's more, he developed the habit of looking fearfully behind him every now and then, as if he was afraid she might be sneaking up on him again for another dose of the same. my MIL's grandmother fled italy in the 20's to escape murder charges. she found her husband had cheated on her, let him come home and fall asleep....unscrewed the huge round ball on the headboard of their brass bed, and knocked him across the head with it. fled in the night with their two children, came to america and settled down... she found out from her relatives that he survived the blow, went on to marry the mistress.....who poisoned him when he cheated on HER. interesting stuff. kitten
