Man eats own toes

An Austrian man cut off his toes, fried them up and ate them between two slices of bread after getting high sniffing butane gas.

When ambulance men arrived he offered to share his meal with them, passing over a toe and saying: "It tastes like chicken, do you want some, there's a few still left over."

Police said the 35-year-old suddenly became very hungry after sniffing the gas and had searched all his kitchen cupboards, but found nothing to eat.

Grabbing a kitchen knife he cut off his toes on his left foot and dropped them in the frying pan.

The man's sister called the police when she walked into the kitchen and saw him making the toe sandwich.

By the time ambulance men arrived there was little of the hacked-off toes left and a spokesman said: "What there was, was too badly burned to re-attach."

A police spokesman added: "He told the ambulance men that he had more toes than he needed and didn't think he would notice if he got rid of a few."

He was taken to a hospital in Steyr where he is recovering from his injuries.

I've heard of the munchies but this is going too far.

Propane is much better. It's a mellow high without all those toe cravings.

Sounds remarkably similar to a Stephen King story called "Survivor Type."

That's exactly what came to my mind, too. I still get the willies thinking about that story.

Not to betray my inner sorority girl here, but I'm, like, totally gagging here ...... has nobody thought about what he did with the TOENAILS???

[Mr. Mojo]

but I'm, like, totally gagging here

With a spoon? ;)

One would think that he both de-boned and de-toenailed his severed digits before feasting, but one never knows.

I'd like a little toejam with my toes, please.
