Internal Decapitation

Yikes.

"Shannon Malloy was critically injured Jan. 25 when a car crash slammed her into the dashboard. Her skull separated from her spine, although her skin, spinal cord and other internal organs remained intact.

The rare condition is known as clinically as internal decapitation, and it left her with no control over her head... Her injuries left Malloy with nerve damage that made her eyes cross, and she has difficulty swallowing. She was not paralyzed."

Emphasis mine. From this article.

Oh, and I really like your new Audition banner. I can't get myself to see it; this post could be a reason.
