Well, he can certainly put his foot in his mouth now with that idea.

Black people don't own tools.

Edit- I suppose they could steal them.

Holy shit. How would you even be able to get inside to the kitchen and then still be able to communicate what happened to emergency services? I would think your body would put you into a coma from the shock.

Hans Url, a 56-year-old from Mitterlabill, then took the foot and cooked it in the oven so doctors could not reattach it.

I point to this as an example of anyone claiming unemployment provides incentive not to work! That is one motivated moron!

The funny thing is: having his foot cut off doesn't qualify him for unemployment compensation.

I imagine his disability claim should also be denied as this was a self inflicted injury.

Yeah, if he was smart he would have gotten a construction job and THEN cut-off his foot while on the clock. Lazy AND stupid.

What is better for cutting off a limb? The fine tooth plywood blade or a rugged ripping blade?

Why is the blade so clean? I would expect a bigger mess on the blade itself.

i wood suggest a plywood blade but put tape on the backside to reduce the chip out.
