I just saw this and had to share. I don't know why... But OMG. I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. What a nut job. In other more pleasant news it is ABOVE ZERO! The temp in my car said 7! Hal-freakin-luliah! It's like a heat wave! Happy Friday!
A Texas death-row inmate who plucked out his right eye before his 2004 trial has dug out his left eye and eaten it, The Associated Press reports.
Andre Thomas, 25, has a history of mental troubles. He was convicted of fatally stabbing his estranged wife, their young son and her 13-month-old daughter before ripping their hearts out. After Thomas pulled out his right eye while in the Grayson County Jail, a judge ruled he was competent to stand trial.
Thomas was treated at the prison infirmary after gouging out his eye Dec. 9 and has been moved to a psychiatric facility outside Houston.
"He will finally be able to receive the mental health care that we had wanted and begged for from day 1," Bobbie Peterson-Cate, Thomas' trial attorney, told the Sherman Herald Democrat. "He is insane and mentally ill. It is exactly the same reason he pulled out the last one."
No execution date has been set.

Was this sentence really necessary? If so, I suggest that the author should have followed it with "in other news, water deemed wet and the sky today was blue."
That's one sick puppy. Disturbing.
EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!
Why an eye? why not an ear or finger? Freak!

Oh man it has to be frustrating to drop your eyeball when you are trying to eat it. Imagine how embarrassing it has to be to be on your hands and knees looking for it like a lost contact. And what if it gets dirt on it? That's just gross.
Oh holy...I couldn't read after the first sentence.
S.I.C.K.
