So, what's the story?"" No story. Just a nightmare.”“ Meaning?”“ Meaning, heavy compression lines in his cartilage, severe bruising on his kidneys, liver and lower intestines.

All in all, I say he lived inside a hydraulic car press, went through the Napoleonic wars and was on board the Hindenburg when it went down in flame and yet he's okay..this boy just refuses to die.
