Yes, it's icky, but it's a plot point for down the road, so I need to know so I can set it up properly.
Can one perform a lobotomy with a nail? Just a regular 2/3 inch nail. I know the stories of the "doctor" and his ice-pick, but an ice-pick is a bit longer than a nail.
It doesn't have to be precise, the aim isn't to achieve any sort of positive effect on the person getting stabbed in the head, just so that she's messed up enough so that she can't spill vital secrets and betray the organisation she works for.
Further...would it go in above the eye (I think that's what I read), or through the forehead, or could it puncture the temple for greater effect?
