Subject: Is it wrong that I found this hilarious?

HARTLAND, ME � A Hartland man was treated at a Pittsfield hospital after he nailed himself to a cross. The 23-year-old man apparently was trying to commit suicide Thursday evening in his living room, the Bangor Daily News reported.

Somerset County Sheriff Barry DeLong said Monday that no charges will be filed. "There is no crime here," he said.

Police said the man appeared delusional and told them he had been "seeing pictures of God on the computer." He told them he had not seen the hit movie "The Passion of the Christ," which depicts the Crucifixion of Jesus.

Lt. Pierre Boucher said the man took two pieces of wood, nailed them together in the form of a cross and placed them on the floor. He attached a suicide sign to the wood and then proceeded to nail one of his hands to the makeshift cross using a 14-penny nail and a hammer.

"When he realized that he was unable to nail his other hand to the board, he called 911," Boucher said.

It was unclear whether the man was seeking assistance for his injury or help in nailing down his other hand.

Hartland Fire Department members responded, said Boucher, and cut off the wood while it was still attached to the man's hand. The wood and the victim were taken to Sebasticook Valley Hospital, where the nail was removed.

Boucher said he did not know whether the man received further treatment.

Ever see Penn & Teller's Bullshit? They showed this guy and his son that where trying to prove something about Jesus being nailed to the cross. I think they were in Michigan. Anyhow....

How do you not think far enough to know you can't nail your other hand to a cross? We all have a cross to bear, but come on!

Noslave, it's not wrong at all.

In fact, I think there'd be something wrong if you DIDN'T find it hilarious.

Too bad this guy didn't cut off his nuts in the process, he'd be eligible for a Darwin Award.

Count me in...that is freakin' hilarious. As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a nincomepoop!".

That guy must have a huge living room...If he needed help with nailing the other hand, I would have called Home Depot. They seem to have more expertise than the Sheriff's department.
