Swedish man has appendix burst while waiting for Wii

A Swedish man who had worked very hard to make sure he was first in line had a bit of catastrophe strike him while waiting. Turns out, his appendix burst right there while waiting. After a 48 hour stay in the hospital, he was right back in line, the very first customer waiting out for his Wii.

1. New game: Wii Surgery

in which you wield (Wiield?) the Wii Remote as though it were a scalpel. :P

4. There already is such a game

It's called Trauma Center, I believe.

I applaud that! I don't even know why.

3. I didn't hear any Wii shortage stories.

Maybe people were just burned out from the PS3 thing, but it seems like the Wii was much more available. I'm not much of a gamer at all though so I could be wrong.

5. There were some "shortages" at launch.

Mostly a "tickle-me-Elmo" sort of thing though, not a real shortage like the PS3.

6. He must have a hell of a pain threshold

I had appendicitis and you get real damn sick before it ruptures...
