lol @ that site

Obviously they didn't think this through. When it came time to cut off the fourth hand they realized they couldn't hold the chainsaw.

They should have used a band saw.

1st man: "Gosh Ted, our business failed and we both have AIDS. What are we gonna do?"
2nd man: "Uhhhmmm Kill ourselves?"
1st man: "Well O.k. but lets not shoot each other, that's so cliche'. If we gonna do this let's be original."
2nd man: "Well we could walk off the roof of a building together. Naked."
1st man: "Hmmm no, that's just not enough. Let's do something brutal and messy."
2nd man: "Well how about we cover ourselves in beef broth and jump into a pen with some hungry pit bulls?"
1st man: "No, they would get our AIDS. The poor things don't deserve that."
2nd man: "Yeah I hadn't thought about that. Gee this is harder than cutting your own arms off with a chainsaw."
1st man: "Ted you're Brilliant!!!!!!"

Apparently they used a circular saw. You gotta wonder.

:rolleyes: The men are in stable condition at a local hospital and will undergo psychiatric tests, a police spokesman said.

Ya gotta wonder huh?

Stephen King did a short story about a castaway with no food. He began to eat himself. Guess he (King) and his neighbour (probably Sparky) were drinking beer on the porch one afternoon and got to wondering about how much of your body you cut off and live to tell about. Macabre but interesting...the usual King stuff.

Bit fucking stupid, its near impossible to kill yourself by cutting off your hands, the veins in your wrists are too small.

Well they cut them off nearly to the elbow. Im pretty sure you could probably bleed to death from that. Not to mention one of them got both arms hacked off lol. Shock is a factor also. Anyways people kill themselves by sliting their wrists all the time, so the veins in your arms are not too small.

Ok, but as has been asked, how did they think they were going to cut off arm #4 with a circular saw?

Maybe the trauma will kill you, but bleeding from a cut wrist usually stops before death.

Would someone who was thinking rationally and planning ahead have started this endeavour?
