You have to hand it to 10-year-old Australian Terry Vo, who will certainly have the weirdest tale to tell when he’s 16, drunk and trying to impress the girl to get into her knickers. Because while the other lads may have tales of dog bites and wasp’s nests and noogies, he can say he had both his hands and a foot cut off in a freak basketball accident.

If you’re like me, you had no idea that those three words could logically co-exist, but apparently in Australia, they can. Seems Terry went up for a salm dunk at a friend’s birthday party and pulled down the brick wall that was holding up the backboard.

Surgeons have re-attached his severed limbs and he now faces 18 to 24 months of physical therapy to regain control of his digits.
