Ewwww! Gross!
Check out the animated reenactment of a rare report of self-cannibalism!
A 28 year old dude from New Zealand cut off his little finger, cooked it with vegetables, and ATE IT! (With a nice Chianti and some fava beans? Ha!)
A cause cited for this was a struggle with depression.
Depression is no good, but we're glad it doesn't normally manifest itself in this way, that's for sure!
Yummy, right??
If you're fighting depression, tell someone! Don't let it get to any kind of severe point, there is always help!

Since early last week, Jews the world over have been eating matzo to celebrate the holiday of Passover, commemorating the Exodus of ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Egypt didn't have any decent carryout places at the time, so the Jews had to pack dry, tasteless crackers that disintegrate into a million crumbs as soon as you bite into them. In modern times, by the end of this week-long festival, people are desperate to find ways to use up their leftover matzo, especially if their roofs are not in need of any replacement shingles.
We found an intriguing recipe on the Internet, creating a classic Elvis sandwich (peanut butter, honey and banana with bacon) using matzo in place of white bread. As Passover draws to a close, we decided to try one.
Ian: Just as Moses led the Jews out of Egypt, this sandwich led the skinny Elvis into being the fat Elvis.
Peter: Evidence Elvis was a secret Jew? One, he loved his mother. Two, this sandwich. Evidence he was not a Jew? Everything else he ever did.
?Ian: This sandwich is acting Jewish, but it's not. In that way, it's like Madonna.
Peter: It looks like the food in the bottom of the trash can that's been crushed by all the other trash. Tasty, though.
Robert: It really has a nice balance. Matzo has no fat, salt or taste. And bacon is bacon.
Robert: You know, matzo is the bread of affliction.
Ian: The affliction in this case being heart disease.
Until this sandwich, we didn't know Robert had a grill at his desk.
Robert: When Elvis was a teenager in Memphis he was a Shabbos Goy, a non-Jew who helped out observant Jews who are forbidden engaging in any kind of work on the Sabbath. Presumably he would have been instrumental in slicing the bananas.
Mike: In this case, the bacon is the Shabbos Goy. It performs the role of being delicious since the matzo is forbidden.
Eva: Hiding something so delicious in something so undelicious is like hiding your comic book inside a math book.
Ian: It's basically trayf in camo.
Mike: Did you use Jif peanut butter? You know, Jewsy mothers Jews Jif.
[The verdict: This sandwich proves the theory that everything tastes better with bacon on it. And in one of the most unnecessary notes in Internet history, the author of the recipe feels the need to point out that if you include the bacon, the sandwich is no longer kosher or vegetarian.]

LIANE HANSEN, host:
Gian Smith, would you read the first stanza of your poem "O Beautiful Storm," please?
Mr. GIAN SMITH (Spoken Word Artist): (Reading) I've got the rain in my veins. The floodwater in my blood makes my heart beat harder. Ive got the scent of the death and decay in the wind, sinking into my nose and under my skin. Shes the music in my ears and the mold in my soul. Move with her like bellies to Congo drums. Write a sonnet to her, serenade her, recite her a poem. Bump her like sissy bounce or mellow into her like Marsalis. Let her weave through your brain like a song thats moved you when you can stop the flow. But dont let her go.
HANSEN: If that poem rings a bell, it's likely that you've seen the trailer for the second season of "Treme," the HBO series set in post-Katrina New Orleans. Gian Smith wrote it, he read it on the trailer and he'll show up in episode five of "Treme" later this season.
Gian Smith joins us from member station WWNO in, where else, New Orleans.
Thanks a lot for being with us.
Mr. SMITH: Thank you for having me.
HANSEN: In "O Beautiful Storm" you give Hurricane Katrina a personality. I mean even a soul. Was writing it a cathartic experience for you?
Mr. SMITH: It was actually. Most of the poem kind of came to me in one wave when I was cleaning my mom's house and I was put on floor duty. So that meant scrubbing Katrina residue from the floor in the living room. And I was moved just by the experience of it in a way that I didn't want to lose it.
But I also wanted to recognize all of the factors that contributed to it, as well, which, you know, it goes beyond just an act of nature. There's elements of government corruption, you know, there's neglect, there's our own arrogance. We probably thought we were bigger than the hurricane.
HANSEN: You were discovered by Treme's producer. Was "O Beautiful Storm" the poem that attracted their attention?
Mr. SMITH: There was a symposium done at a university in New Orleans and I was asked to speak as a representative of the artist community. A friend of mine, he was the one who asked that I be on the panel, and he also came to me and asked that I write a performance piece about the neighborhood of Treme - not the TV show. When I performed that piece, I think it caught the eye of a lot of people, so...
HANSEN: What was that piece?
Mr. SMITH: The piece is called - a poem for Treme - called "You Better Ask Somebody."
HANSEN: Can you recite just a little of it?
Mr. SMITH: I can do that, yeah, I can do that. Let's see:
(Reading) I believe Jesus died for my salvation, and for recognizing that, I get a day off from work and another cause for celebration. Fat Tuesday coming, y'all can't eat no more meat, but Good Friday mean a fish fry and an extra day vacation. See y'all in St. Augustine Church Easter and Christmas only, 'cause when we get ready to fast we pull out that brass and we drink 'til Ash Wednesday and then go to mass.
HANSEN: Nice, nice. What happened to you and your family after Katrina? I mean, you're a native New Orleanian.
Mr. SMITH: Right. Well, actually, my family, we got out of the city relatively early. The day that we left was the Saturday before Katrina hit. I think Katrina hit on a Monday. I ended up going to Silver Spring, Maryland, because my girlfriend at the time was in Howard Dental School.
And, you know, my Katrina experience is not as visually painful as those who might have been here suffering through it. But emotionally it was as taxing as anybody else who, you know, really didn't suffer any physical damage or any human loss. You know, when I was in New Orleans before Katrina, I would walk from one end of downtown to the other with just no regard. You know, it was like taking a stroll in the park for me. No matter what time of night it was, it just felt free and, you know, alive in my city.
And I never really appreciated it, or I didn't appreciate that it was New Orleans that allowed that kind of freedom for me. You know, I thought it was me. Until I got to Silver Spring, Maryland and I was alone. You know, I would walk on the streets of New Orleans by myself but I never felt alone.
HANSEN: So, because it's Easter is it appropriate for me to ask is "O Beautiful Storm" about resurrection?
Mr. SMITH: It is. My goal for "O Beautiful Storm" was that I wanted to, as much as possible, encapsulate the whole of the storm - the before, the during and the after. And I feel like the after is going to be much better. You know, maybe I'm an optimist or maybe I'm a hopeless romantic and, you know, New Orleans is my love, but I feel like there are a lot of beautiful things that we might have taken for granted that we'll know better than to take for granted now.
Obviously, there's, you know, still people who were displaced who would like to get back. But, you know, for the most part, I feel like we're back and I feel like we're better. And so in that way I think it's definitely about resurrection.
HANSEN: Poet Gian Smith wrote "O Beautiful Storm," which was heard in the trailer for the second season of "Treme," the HBO series set in post-Katrina New Orleans. The second season of "Treme" premieres tonight on HBO. Gian Smith appears in episode five. Gian, thank you very much.
Mr. SMITH: Thank you.
(Soundbite of song)
BAND: (Singing) The rebirth is in my (unintelligible), sing it...

Pope Benedict XVI delivers his Easter message to the faithful after the Easter Holy Mass Sunday at St Peter's Square at The Vatican.
Pope Benedict XVI delivers his Easter message to the faithful after the Easter Holy Mass Sunday at St Peter's Square at The Vatican.
Pope Benedict XVI urged an end to fighting in Libya, using his Easter Sunday message to call for diplomacy and peace in the Middle East.
Benedict also said that politics in North Africa and the Middle East should be based on respect for all.
"In the current conflict in Libya, may diplomacy and dialogue replace arms, and may those who suffer as a result of the conflict be given access to humanitarian aid," he said.
Referring to northern Africa and the Middle East, the pope prayed for the realization of a society where "every political choice is inspired by respect for the human person."
Benedict celebrated Easter Mass in St. Peter's Square, packed with pilgrims and tourists and awash in the bright colors of spring flowers as he marked the church's most joyous day of the year. Christians worldwide on Easter recall Jesus' resurrection, a sign of eternal life, following his crucifixion.
But while "in heaven, all is peace and gladness," Benedict said in his message delivered after the Mass from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, "alas, it is not so on earth," as he lamented hunger, disease, war and violence.
He prayed for people in the Middle East, "so that the light of peace and of human dignity may overcome the darkness of division, hate and violence."
"In all the countries of northern Africa and the Middle East, may all citizens, especially young people, work to promote the common good and to build a society where poverty is defeated and every political choice is inspired by respect for the human person," the pope said.
Europe has been split over whether to accept or deport tens of thousands of migrants, many of them from Libya and elsewhere in northern Africa, who have been flooding European shores to flee unrest and bloodshed.
Benedict rallied to the side of the refugee, saying, "may people of good will open their hearts to welcome them."
His "Urbi et Orbi" message to the city of Rome and the world also called for Ivory Coast to "tread the path of reconciliation and pardon." He also prayed that Japan find consolation as it reels from the devastation from an earthquake and tsunami.
While choir voices rang out across the cobblestone square in late morning Mass, thousands of more people were still arriving, filling the boulevard leading from the Tiber to the Vatican, and by the time the pope delivered his speech, well over 100,000 people had thronged to the area.
Resplendent in gold-colored robes, Benedict led the ceremony from an altar set up on the steps of the basilica, under a red canopy to shield him from rain or sun. Skies over the Vatican alternated between clouds and peeks of sun.
The 84-year-old Benedict looked relaxed, although his voice cracked a bit as he intoned prayers during the sung parts of the Mass. His voice had sounded hoarse at times the previous evening, when the pope led a late-night Easter Vigil Mass lit by candles in the basilica.
On Sunday, the square was bedecked with rows of flowers in full bloom and tourists waving scarves and flags from their homelands.
The blossoms seemed almost as numerous as the faithful. The Dutch suppliers of the floral decorations said about 41,000 potted plants lined the square. The flowers included 500 potted hyacinths, 150 lily plants, 1,000 off-white roses, azaleas, tulips, and 10,000 narcissus plants, many of them in yellow and white, the official Vatican colors, and arranged in neat, rows up the slope toward the altar.
Benedict prayed aloud that Easter would help believers testify to their faith with "words and life." Shoring up flagging faith in much of the Western world has been a key goal of the Vatican, both under Benedict and his predecessor, John Paul II.
Benedict will return to the square in exactly one week to lead a crowd expected to be at least double Easter's turnout when he beatifies John Paul, putting the Polish-born, long-serving pontiff on the last formal step before eventual sainthood.

State television said renegade warlord Ibrahim "IB" Coulibaly, a two-time coup plotter who began the pro-democracy battle for Abidjan, was killed in fighting Wednesday night with one-time allies turned enemy.
He died after his top aide said Coulibaly's troops were waiting for U.N. peacekeepers to disarm them.
A commander for Defense Minister Guillaume Soro said Coulibaly appeared to have killed himself rather than surrender when his troops seized Coulibaly's stronghold in Abidjan's poor neighborhood of Abobo on Wednesday night.
The senior commander spoke on condition of anonymity and it was not possible to get details late Wednesday of how exactly Coulibaly, 47, died.
"Chief Sergeant Ibrahim Coulibaly has been killed this evening during fighting with the FRCI" Republican Forces of Ivory Coast, state television announced in a late-night headline running at the bottom of the TV screen.
But the senior commander who directed the fighting against Coulibaly said it appeared to be a suicide.
"Our men surrounded his residence but he refused to surrender," said the commander who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to reporters. "When our fighters got access, they found his body, lifeless but with no bullet wound."
Coulibaly spokesman Felix Anoble said earlier Wednesday they were attacked while waiting for U.N. peacekeepers to arrive and disarm them.
Reached after news of his death, Anoble told the AP he could "confirm nothing, I have no information."
Ouattara on Friday had ordered Coulibaly and his forces to disarm or expect to have weapons seized by force. Coulibaly said that disarming would take time to organize. He pledged his allegiance to the new president in an interview with The Associated Press, but has not been received by him.
"Our positions were attacked this morning by Republican Forces (FRCI) while our soldiers had met to wait for disarmament overseen by the U.N.," Anoble said.
Brig. Gen. Michel Gueu, the military adviser to Ouattara's Prime Minister Guillaume Soro, said Tuesday he met with a Coulibaly delegation to advise they to disarm.
"We're here to bring a verbal message from the president and the prime minister who ask that IB deposes his arms," he said, adding that it was a prerequisite to meeting with the two leaders.
Coulibaly had said he considered Ouattara "like a father," since he led the bodyguard of Ouattara's French wife from 1990 to 1993, when he was an army chief sergeant and Ouattara was prime minister.
On Monday, Coulibaly's aides accused Soro's camp of attacking their forces. The two men have a years-old feud.
Soro's men did not reach Abidjan until April.
The rivalry between Soro and Coulibaly was the biggest challenge to confront Ouattara's fledgling government since former strongman Laurent Gbagbo was arrested April 11.
Coulibaly had led a successful 1999 coup that installed Gen. Robert Guei, who was assassinated after elections in 2000. In 2002 Coulibaly helped lead a failed coup against Gbagbo and made no secret of his own presidential aspirations.
Later that year, Coulibaly began the rebellion that divided Ivory Coast between a rebel-held north and government-run south.
In 2004, Soro and Coulibaly waged bloody battles for leadership in the rebels' stronghold in the central city of Bouake. Soro won and Coulibaly was forced into exile.
Ouattara has little control over the former rebel forces that brought him to power and who will form the new Ivorian army by integrating with Gbagbo's old forces. The former rebels grouped loosely under Soro, who is also the prime minister, are commanded by five different warlords.
Coulibaly re-emerged in Abidjan in January at the head of the "Invisible Commandos" to start the battle against Gbagbo's forces after soldiers fired mortar shells and rockets into Abobo, a neighborhood that voted en masse for Ouattara.
The Nov. 28 elections were supposed to reunite the country, but Gbagbo's stubborn refusal to accept his defeat precipitated the most recent violence in a country in conflict for a decade. It is not known how many thousands have been killed and wounded.
Ouattara's government has appealed for residents to return to their normal lives in the West African nation.
Late Tuesday, Ouattara's government announced preliminary investigations into Gbagbo and his family.
