* WhoEvenNeedsABrain: In the episode 'Miss American Pipe' Faith gets a section of drain pipe almost the diameter of a tennis ball lodged in her head, running all the way through [[InOneEarOutTheOther just above her ears]]. A mystified doctor noted there was "absolutely no damage" and at the end of the episode the pipe was knocked out leaving a hole clear through her head with no visible brain matter. Faith bemoaned her bad luck throughout but suffered no side effects other than being treated as a freak at school.
