on topic: re: the guy who cut off his own member
apparently he petitioned his father for permission to marry the girl he loved for two years before this incident. i read he's from a fairly affluent family, and the girl in question is from a much lower social caste. when his father said no, once and for all, off came wee willy winky.
that girl should call daddy warbucks and thank him for telling his lunatic son no way. what would he do in a lovers' quarrel?
