LET THEM EAT CARROT CAKE
The art of killing oneself has been taken to another level.
A distraught Michigan man was "very determined to end his life," police said, when he built a guillotine in the woods and used it to kill himself.
The body of the 41-year-old man was discovered by workers from a nearby shopping center in the Detroit suburb of Melvindale Monday next to the 6-foot guillotine bolted to a tree.
Guillotines, with roots going back to medieval times, were used to slice the heads off their victims. This particular one had a swing arm and must have taken quite some time to build, police said.
It's inherently sad that this poor bloke didn't even get to experience 15 minutes of fame for his ingenuity.
Now, for some carrot cake:
Go here for not much more on the story.
