Nógv kenna søguna um Phineas Gage, sum fekk eina jarnstong gjøgnum høvdið men yvirlivdi. Men einastu myndir vóru av sjálvum skøltinum, inntil Jack and Beverly Wilgus ein dag løgdu eina gamlaðu mynd á myndasavnið Flickr, sum tey kallaðu "One Eyed Man with Harpoon", ið ein annar brúkari so í viðmerkingunum mistonkti at vera Phineas Gage.

"I first noticed the wound upon the head before I alighted from my carriage, the pulsations of the brain being very distinct. Mr. Gage, during the time I was examining this wound, was relating the manner in which he was injured to the bystanders. I did not believe Mr. Gage's statement at that time, but thought he was deceived. Mr. Gage persisted in saying that the bar went through his head....Mr. G. got up and vomited; the effort of vomiting pressed out about half a teacupful of the brain, which fell upon the floor."
