I was reading in the news that a man ran into a busy London restaurant on Tuesday and chopped off his own penÌs in front of diners. What on earth would drive a man to do something like this?

OMG! That one is a little unusual, then again maybe it was a little thing he cut...ok lol just being silly there. Now seriously, I think maybe that man must have had some sort of mental problem, maybe he was angry at someone or himself, or he just simply wanted to do something extreame. How sad for him to have mutalated himself in such a way. Even more horrofying for diners.

He must have been mentally ill.

I was *just* reading about this on Ananova! I think he must have been mentally ill. No one of sound mind, no matter what the circumstances, would do something like that.

I think so too. Police are looking into it to see if the unnamed man had a history of mental illness.

Guilt? Shame? Some kind of moralistic fervor? Perhaps he'd done or comtemplated doing something morally apprehensive? Perhaps he was abused as a child and it finally got to him? tough call.

Well I tell you this, that was pretty disturbing, but I promise you, whomever this person was, he wasn't a brother; I can bet on that. That is so sad; here this man gonna cut off what the good Lord gave him for some joy. Mercy.

Well, I really have no logical answer to your question about such an unlogical act. However, I for sure hop that this man is mentally ill, and not just unstable, and that he is so mentally ill that he will be medicated for the rest of his life, so he does not wake up one day and realize what he has done to himself. Poor man, he definitely cannot have been completely sane.

Surgeons attempted to reattach it, but they have not said if the operation was a success and I stand corrected. It happened on Sunday evening.
