A man who believed he bore the “mark of the beast” used a circular saw to cut off one hand, then he cooked it in the microwave and called 911, authorities said.
SFGate.com, “Man Cuts Off, Microwaves His Own Hand“
The man thoughtfully put a tourniquet on his arm before cutting off his hand so he wouldn’t bleed to death. It’s not clear whether the man had a history of mental illness or if this is a fun new thing for him. Kind of reminds me of Evil Dead.
Lest you begin to think it’s only Christians who spark bizarre news stories1, an American scientist with Frankenstein-like leanings has developed a brain in a jar derived from rat brain cells that is capable of flying a virtual airplane.
A Florida scientist has developed a “brain” in a glass dish that is capable of flying a virtual fighter plane and could enhance medical understanding of neural disorders such as epilepsy.

The world is a very strange place.
