Idaho Man Cuts Off Hand, Microwaves It

I used to work disability insurance claims, and this reminds me of one of my psych claimants. He suffered pretty badly from body dismorphia. Basically that’s a condition where you are extremely repulsed by the site of yourself… reflection in a mirror, photos… etc.

This claimant tried to cut his hands off with a handsaw (sorry bout the pun) but after cutting his first off, he quickly realized he had no hand to cut off the second. Needless to say, we paid his claim.

“His hand looked like it was a hotdog until it shriveled up.”

I guess hands “plump when you cook ‘em” too!

(Geez… I hope hotdogs don’t have any marks of the beast on them..)

There was a guy on Jerry Springer a while back who cut off his own legs with a circular saw (no I don’t watch regularly; one of those fall-asleep-in-the-recliner-&-wake-to-late-nite-weirdness things). He said his legs didn’t belong there, so he cut them off. He’s also a transvestite. And very, very, very strange.

I’m not sure but I think there’s a finnish artist Markus Copper, who has done roughly the same thing. I think it was some sort of a performance where he cut his hand off. could be I’m wrong, but he still is missing one hand.

he’s definitely worth looking into – very powerful works!

Someone was watching too much Evil Dead.

“Someone was watching too much Evil Dead.”

Hahahaha. So funny!

@ Pudifoot

Don’t forget it has to be beer-battered first!

Thank god, I mean me, that he killed the beast.

Beats cutting off your nipples. At least he had a purpose.

And what’s with the doofus posting his “God is imaginary” link every chance he gets? Quit trying to proselytize me!

If you tell a child at a yougn age the FBI is after them all the time they may grow up paranoid, that woudl be considered child abuse. Maybe somebody should do something about religion.
