Man Finds Severed Hand in a Garage

But don't worry, it's a pretty old hand. Whoever lost their hand did so about 50-80 years ago. Still, how would you like finding a decaying hand while you are painting?

This is precisely what happened to Bo Jesperson when he was renovating an old house. At first, he thought it was a prop but then discovered decaying bone. I find his description of the hand to be both humourous and grisly.

He didn’t cut his nails," he added, describing it as a "workingman’s hand."

The wrist portion appeared jagged, Jespersen said, as if the hand had been removed violently, and 6 to 8 inches of what appeared to be tendons were looped around it.

The hand looked as if it had dried slowly.

"It looked like beef jerky," he said.

I don't know about you, but I don't think I'm going to be eating beef jerky for a long time. There's a little part of me that will always wonder if I'm eating someone's decaying hands. It is irrational of me to feel this way, I know. But aren't all fears irrational?

Man Commits Suicide by Sawing Off His Head

Sheesh. Whatever you say about this man, you cannot accuse him of being undedicated about his own demise. Here are the grim details.

A man cut off his own head with a chainsaw after stabbing his 70-year-old father to death in their apartment in the German city of Cologne, police said.

The body of the offender, 24, was found headless when police raced to the apartment after an emergency call, apparently from the dying father, had been broken off in mid-sentence.

Alf Willwacher, a senior prosecutor, said an electric chainsaw was next to the son's body.

"We do not believe any third party was involved,'' he said.

Neighbours said the father and son had been reclusive since the death of the mother, allegedly by suicide, several years ago.

Man chops off head with chainsaw - World - smh.com.au

Of all the ways to kill yourself, this way must take a certain tenacity. This guy really wanted to kill himself. There was no mucking around. Once he picked up that chainsaw, he knew he was going to make a good go of it.

I can certainly think about less gruesome ways to die. Poison, suffocation, even jumping off a building are easier on the nerves. This guy didn't care so much at that point, though. He had a job to do.

Most of all, though, I'm wondering how he did it.

Guillaume de Nittis: The Man Who Ate Himself

In 1876, a man suffering from depression started eating his own flesh. At first, he started with his forearm — until he was detained and put in a straitjacket. But without access to his arms, he started eating his left foot. He wouldn't eat anything else and was absolutely uncooperative when he was put in protective custody.

When asked what his purpose was for eating himself, Guillarme said that God was "such a poor sculptor that he was trying to help rectify the shameful state of affairs." Upon being told that he would die if he kept this behaviour up, his reply was that he would continue eating himself until only his teeth were left. Finally, on July 4, Mr de Nittis died of shock at the age of 32.

His final act was self-castration — by his own teeth.

Potatoes

An old man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his potato garden but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His only son Fred, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Fred,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over I know you would dig the plot for me.

Love,
Dad

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad,

For heaven's sake, don't dig up that garden! That's where I buried the BODIES!

Love,
Fred

At 4am the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Dad,

Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.

Love,
Fred

Siamese Twins Born To Cattle

Keeping along with my cow-themed day, I present to you this most unusual case of Siamese calves conjoined at the stomach.

It took four hours to deliver these calves — and only through surgery. Even through that, they were born dead. Poor fellows didn't even have a chance.

I don't know about you, but a creepy feeling overcomes me when I look at that pic. It's like some mad scientist has been doing experiments on them. Either that, or this could be one such example of beef McDonald's puts in their burgers. I'm certainly hoping I'm wrong about the last statement.

Sheesh, nature can be a cruel thing.
