#2 I remember an incident when an old guy was logging, and cut halfway through his neck with his chainsaw, by accident, yet amazingly was able to walk a quarter mile to a dispensary.

After the medical people worked through their unrestrained hysteria, they got him to a hospital, where he spent the next several days pretty much in around the clock surgery. It generally worked, however.

#3 This almost tops the classical Greek philosopher who strangled himself to death with his own bare hands...now THAT is persistence.

I would say, seriously, that what we have here is an undiagnosed case of Borderline Personality Disorder. BPD is one of the most difficult to diagnose..Psychiatrists want to diagnose it as Bipolar with psychotic features...they can sell more drugs that way, but in reality, many people living on meds for bipolar behavior are actually BPD.

#6 "Phyall tied the Black & Decker tool to a leg of a snooker table in his lounge with string, taped up the on button and plugged it into a timer.

Sorry this man was so depressed about getting tossed from his house. I know of a guy who committed suicide by fastening himself to the railroad track. He carefully left one arm loose so he could drink his final 6-pack while he waited for the train.

#8 "Disturbingly, the plan went off without a hitch,"

Disturbingly? Hell, as anyone who has ever kludged some lash-up together, if it works the first time, it's a miracle and cause for rejoicing. And maybe a beer.
