Man cuts off wife's lips and eats them.

A former employee of a Swedish medical university is accused of cutting his wife's lips off and eating them.

The Local says the Swedish Aftonbladet newspaper reported that the unnamed man allegedly flew into a rage after he became suspicious that his much younger wife was having an affair.

"It was honour related. He doesn't seem to regret a thing; he believes she insulted him," a source with knowledge of the matter told Aftonbladet, according to The Local.

As for why the man allegedly ate the lips, AFP reports that "he didn't want the lips to be able to be sewn back on," according to the same unnamed source.

But they usually feature Zombie Jesus.

See for yourself at his blog: Pharyngula

But, by all means, feel free to post more here. I am happy to see them. The more, the merrier.

Braaaains!

It's only funny when a women cuts off her cheating husband's penis and puts it down the garbage disposal.

From the sound of it, I'm glad I missed that particular memo, and will continue my life as though you had not informed me. Because to my way of thinking, that's just as fucked-up.

is not a bad thing.

No one thinks the actual incident is funny, anymore than the homeless guy getting his face eaten, or the roomate eaten by the other roomate (or at least his heart).

But the string of these types of stories in a short time frame is bound to generate a little gallows/dark humor.
