Hey shemp, here is something interesting.

Oshawa ON. August 28, 2001

Attack of the Clones Protest leader Brady Nelson was hospitalized late
Sunday evening when his quad-runner flipped causing a metal rod to pierce his lower left leg.  Nelson managed to work his way from under the machine and crawl back 20km to the highway before he was spotted and taken to a near by hospital.  After 6 hours of surgery doctors were able to re-attach all of the tendons which had been ripped from the bone, as well as mend two rather large gashes on either side of his leg.

According to police reports, the front right suspension broke down causing the axle to snap.  Once the entire front left quarter dipped, Nelson lost control and the bike flipped.  Detectives on the scene refused to deny the rumor that fowl play was involved.  It is common that since Nelson started the Star Wars Title protest only a few short weeks ago, he has been the recipient of dozens of death threats.  It was, in fact, because of these death threats that the revolutionary was hiding out at his lake cottage in the first place.

Nelson, who recently had been leading a crusade against Lucas Films, and
George Lucas himself, for what he has referred to as unjust treatment of
loyal fans, says that he will not let the injury slow down the movement.
"We will continue our fight.  I spend most of the day at home in bed with my laptop anyway, so it really doesn't make much difference whether I'm here or there."  Nelson will be kept in hospital for observation before being released on Friday.
