Another Gruesome Beheading!
Posted Aug 4th 2008 1:08PM by Ada Calhoun
Filed under: Crime
A man on a Canadian Greyhound bus decapitated his seatmate and ate parts of the body as the rest of the bus passengers fled in horror, CNN reports. Then a man decapitated his girlfriend in Greece and carried her head through the streets before being apprehended by police, says Newser. Two beheadings is two too many for a week. Let's bring back last week's fat cat trend.

1. Ugh... distasteful.

2. Knife Control NOW !!!

3. The guy also ate some of the flesh. Are there non-gruesome beheadings?

4. Sure, laugh all you want.
Ever have a house land on your sister or worse
have a bucket of Lestoil thrown at you?
See,
they should fix the economy, fix the toilets and serve snacks on bus tours.
Nachos w/cheese I say, or, eye of Newt.

5. Yes, unfortunately, I knew it was only a matter of time before we read about the next one. What a horror for everyone involved...an absolute horror.
I'm with you - I would much rather see cutesy fat cats and baby tigers nursing on dogs.

6. Cadeaux, I knew what you knew and I knew that you knew what I knew and I knew that if you knew what I knew you would waste five minutes out of your very expensive, highly compensated day, wondering what it was that I knew, if in fact, I knew anything and also that you were who I knew would be following me, (I know that sounds self-absorbed, in a self-sponging way, but what I meant to say was that I knew you would be here because there is nowhere else you could be except for here without my surprising you at every turn, ((which would take a great deal of effort and imagination (((something I am not capable of without your help, so))) surprise me with something that is original and can figure out how to eat the other people on this bus, but more importantly, how to close so many paratheses.) As does the pinch, pinch, pinch, so do I.
By the pricking of my thumb...

7. "Another 'gruesome' beheading?" I'm sorry, but have you ever witnessed a beheading that WASN'T GRUESOME?
URKiddinMee at 6:06PM on Aug 4th 2008
8. What I want to know, is why this dude is still alive? I actually saw a photo of this whack-job sitting in the driver's seat and a cop trying to negotiate with him. No jury in this world would convict anyone for taking this lunatic out. If that were my kid that he did that to, he'd be a 'gonner'....no question about it.

9. Sure URKiddinMee, there have been far less gruesome beheadings throughout history...
Take for example, the infamous case of Anne Boleyn, 2nd wife of Henry VIII.
According to numerous sources, it was a nice clean beheading... "She knelt upright, in the French style of executions. The execution was swift and consisted of a single stroke."

10. Too funny!

11. Ada Calhoun,
I always find these stories really depressing. The guy in Canada, which I believe doesn't have the death-penalty, was charged with second-degree murder. I know I am being a little ridiculous here. The logic was that it wasn't premeditated.
He's carrying a knife like that on Greyhound and they don't believe it was premeditated? The only thing that makes sense to me is when it's your time to go; it's your time to go.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Mr. Clark

12. This is what happens when Atheism and Secular Humanism are taught in our public schools and practiced as a lifestyle.

13. Of course, Will Smith... that's obvious!
Everyone knows that Atheism and Secular Humanism are gateways to the urge to behead someone.
In all serious though, if you believe the Earth was created in less than 7 days and is only 6000 years old and that the entire evolutionary fossil record has somehow been faked by a worldwide mass conspiracy of atheist non-believing scientists... then YOU are the one who has LOST YOUR HEAD!
