Monk has erection, cuts-off penis
Nothing like an unplanned erection to change the mood during prayer. In this particular case, a monk experiences one such inconvenience and promptly removes said distraction using a machete. [via]
A Thai Buddhist monk cut off his penis with a machete because he had an erection during meditation and declined to have it reattached, saying he had renounced all earthly cares, a doctor and a newspaper said on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old monk, whose name was withheld for privacy reasons, allowed medical staff at Maharaj hospital, 780 km (480 miles) south of Bangkok to dress his wound, but refused reattachment, hospital chief Prawing Euanontouch said.
We cleaned up the wound, gave him some stitches, but he declined to have it reattached because he said had abandoned everything, Prawing told Reuters by telephone.
I would have went with a cold shower to get my mind realigned. Refusing to have the appendage reattached is a completely different approach.

Re: Thai monk cuts off penis
Ah! Another use for the machete. Between a machete and duct tape you can do anything. Obviously he didn't have duct tape.

Do not forget WD40. Norwegian toolbox - Sole Contents: WD and Duct Tape. If it moves and shouldn't use tape. If it don't move and should, Spray with WD40. Tool box is gonna get heavy if I have to add a machete... Course it would just be back up to my saws all surgical tool...

If you are going to do a self penetectomy, I think a machete would definitely be preferable to a Saws-All. The ER doctors would have an easier time closing the wound for one thing....
