HAYDEN, Idaho (AP) -- A man who believed he bore the "mark of the beast" used a circular saw to cut off one hand, then he cooked it in the microwave and called 911, authorities said.
The man, in his mid-20s, was calm when Kootenai County sheriff's deputies arrived Saturday in this northern Idaho town. He was in protective custody in the mental health unit of Kootenai Medical Center.
"It had been somewhat cooked by the time the deputy arrived," sheriff's Capt. Ben Wolfinger said. "He put a tourniquet on his arm before, so he didn't bleed to death. That kind of mental illness is just sad."
It was not immediately clear whether the man has a history of mental illness. Hospital spokeswoman Lisa Johnson would not say whether an attempt was made to reattach the hand, citing patient confidentiality.
The Book of Revelation in the New testament contains a passage in which an angel is quoted as saying: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink the wine of God's fury."
The book of Matthew also contains the passage: "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for you whole body to do into hell."
Wolfinger said he didn't know which hand was amputated.

He put the tourniquet on before cutting it off.
He's not mental....just following his religion.
Don't know why he called 911. Maybe for the free stitches and antibiotics.0 -

How long, and what power setting do you microwave a hand? If you select reheat, does it heat it to body temperature?
Did they find fava beans or a nice chianti there?0 -

He must have been in a hurry. Could have used the crock pot on low setting. Then served it as finger food. 0 -

When Olympic Park bomber Eric Robert Rudolph was on the lam, his brother sawed off his own hand with a skilsaw, as a protest for "the FBI treatment of his brother."
He sent a videotape of the amputation act to the FBI.0
