    I've heard this one too, reassuring not long before my exams.
    It was not theirs to reason why,
    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.

    Just doesn't seem possible to me, because the angle in which he had to headbutt the table with would actually make it a nose-butt. But dunno, if he really wanted to do it, I suppose it might be possible.

    I've heard similar stories, most commonly with spoons.

    yeah the one i used to hear was don't run with a spoon in your mouth, coz some kid fell over and the spoon killed him.

    I read a story like this in a Fortean Times with the boy actually putting the pencil into an inkwell in the table and drove his eye right into it. Something to do with exam stress apparently. I'm not sure if he died though
