Man Slices Own Head Off in Supermarket Suicide

Now THIS should make you think twice about going to the meat department, eh?? Ewww....

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) - A South African man died trying to cut his own head off with a butcher's band saw in a major supermarket, police said on Wednesday.

Superintendent Jay Naicker said the Shoprite Checkers store in Richards Bay had been ready to close on Monday when the man wandered in and headed for the meat department. "He just walked in, went to the band saw machine and switched it on," Naicker told Reuters. "Apparently he knew what he was doing. He put his neck to the blade and it cut about half way through before he fell to the floor."

You! Out of the gene pool!! Now, damnit!!

What must go through someone's mind before slicing your neck open on a band saw? Thankfully, there is a bright side, though- he's not breeding.
