Reply to comment by DavoTB in TIL over the course of his 23 published adventures, Herge's Tintin was knocked unconscious 43 times. Between 1929 and 1973, he was hit with a rake, a brick, a whisky bottle, an oar, a giant apple, a camel femur, a block of ice, and countless punches and clubs. by morerubberstamps

I've had 27 concussions (various reasons), and my short-term memory is shit, but other than that, no lasting issues (so far).

I did a lot of drugs and extreme sports in my teenage years, plus several freak accidents. My life is awesome now, and I'm extremely happy with how everything turned out, so I wouldn't take any of it back.

My life would be different, and I don't want anything to change what I have going for me now.
