Man cut off hand bearing 'number of the beast'
A MAN who believed he bore the "mark of the beast" used a circular saw to cut off his hand, then cooked it in a microwave and called police.
The man, in his mid-20s, was calm when Kootenai County sheriff's deputies arrived at his home in Hayden, Idaho.
He is now in protective custody in the mental health unit of Kootenai Medical Centre. "It had been somewhat cooked by the time the deputy arrived," sheriff's Capt Ben Wolfinger said.
