Broken Spark Plug

I just broke a spark plug. The part with threads is still in there. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

Drill it out with a gra-bit.

if any of the plug is left (i was lucky enough to have a tad bit) i used a bit of rubber fuel line and stuck it onto what was left, gently using vice grips clamp down and turn.

I always see pictures of people dropping in engines with the spark plugs in there. To me, that is just asking for trouble so this has to happen a lot.

I like the fuel hose idea above. Let us know...
