Now what can I use a chainsaw for….?

I know this isn’t a very happy subject, but I thought this story from the paper was one of the most interesting things I’d read this year. So, here goes…..

The last man living in a block of flats due to be demolished commited suicide (whenever it was). It was thought he did it in protest. He plugged his chainsaw into a timer and led down with his neck on the blade. As the timer went off, his head was sliced right off.

Thumbs down: Suicide. Not a nice way to go.

Thumbs up: Creativity. I’ve never heard of a suicide like that! I like horror movies (not horror like ‘Saw’ horror, more like Jeepers Creepers or Scary Movie) and that would just be a brilliant plot point in a horror flick. As long as the most gore we see is blood spatters, the severed head (reasonably ‘clean’ shot) and the blood-drenched chainsaw.
