Death By Fetish
1999-10-01 17:06:29
This is a really really sad story about a sad sad old man with a life-long dream to have someone cut his leg off and the sad sad doctor who took him to a south o' the border clinic and did it. The sad sad old man isn't as sad any more, cause he's dead. The sad doctor is now a sad sad doctor because he's facing 25 years in jail and a significantly shorter life expectancy.
Imagine living 80 years thinking your leg was some sort of weird alien limb accidentally stuck to your body, ugh! I'm sure there's got to be some sort of crazy neurological miss-wiring behind it but it doesn't make it any less spooky. And you gotta wonder about this "fringe" doctor, he sounds like a Very Bad Man, but he was also the only person willing to say "You want that done? That'll make you happy? OK-- I can do that." Or maybe it was more like "OK-- how much money do you have?" In either case it would have help if he hadn't left the guy to DIE and all...

Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. Our base of operations is always the ultra swank Spock Mountain Research Labs - the World Leaders in Beverage Science and Leisure Technology. This year, we hauled up our computers, printers and a massive digital duplicator, determined to become Black Rock City's third daily newspaper. Even Spock was surprised by our success - news will never be viewed the same on the playa. Read all seven issues of the 2002 Spock Science Monitor for yourself and see why. (More...)
