A Polish man visited his local brothel in search of a good time. Upon arriving, he was somewhat dismayed to find his wife of 14 years working there as an employee.
No, really.
They have begun divorce proceedings.

Life Imitates Art: The Evil Dead Edition

So this man believes his hand had become marked with the Sign of the Beast (presumably a 666, but who knows?). Being a reasonable person, he put a tourniquet on his arm, cut off his hand with a circular saw, and microwaved it.
No, really.
Apparently calm when authorities arrived, the man is now in protective custody in a mental institution.
Incidentally, both of these stories came through the AP wire at the same time.

Life Imitates Art: The Weekend at Bernie's Edition

Two men tried to cash a dead man's social security check. When the clerk asked to see the man himself, the two men wheeled him down to the check cashing store.
No, really.
A cop was having lunch at the restaurant next door, and noticed a crowd around the dead man's body, which was in a wheelchair. The cop called the precinct, and had them arrested.
EDIT: It wasn't a wheelchair...it was an office chair!
