#1 Most incidents of this nature can be attributed to one of two things, money or sex. I suspect in this particular case, we can safely rule out the latter.

#3 This sort of psycho-lunacy goes a lot farther than just dingleberries. One woman was so convinced that her life would be much better without legs thatafter surgeons refused her request to remove both lower appendagesshe packed both legs in dry ice to cause frostbite induced gangrene.

The offending members were then removed and she is now a happy cripple.

Somehow this fool's name reminds me of a Jack in the Box commercial and something about knowing where the 'angus of a cow is....'

bonus points for the true event that provided the genisis for the flick.

#10 Jack Elam:

"The heavy today is usually not my kind of guy. In the old days, Rory Calhoun was the hero because he was the hero and I was the heavy because I was the heavy - and nobody cared what my problem was. And I didn't either. I robbed the bank because I wanted the money ... I've played all kinds of weirdos but I've never done the quiet, sick type. I never had a problem - other than the fact I was just bad."

#11 And that picture is probably from one of the Cannonball Run movies.

#12 And the event that inspired the movie was the "Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash".

#14 My money is on the DIY procedure. However, if I'm wrong, perhaps his "surgery" will show up on the internet pretty soon.

#15 The pathological desire to have arms and legs removed has been discovered to not be as rare as you might think. The Internet has drawn a lot of such people together, leaving the medical community with a bizarre problem.

In South America, a surgeon working at a mental hospital had no fewer than four patients who were obsessed with having a healthy leg removed. They were so distraught that they could not function in society. They were basket cases who did not respond to any modern psychiatric treatment.

So after considerable anguish by him and the medical staff, he removed a leg from each--which was a profound cure for their insanity! All four were able to resume normal lives with their families, exhibiting no further trace of their mental illness, except for one, who was still not quite right and needed follow up.

He was convinced that he also needed to lose his other foot. Not the whole leg, just the foot. But with drug therapy, he was able to overcome the strong desire; whereas before drugs were ineffective. A psychosis willing to compromise?

They are still arguing about it down there.
