365 Days of Knowledge #38 and 39

Apotemnophilia, heard of it or happen to suffer from it? Apotemnophilia is a psychological disorder characterized by a desire to BE an amputee. No joke, apotomenophiliacs have a strong desire to have one or more of their healthy limbs removed. Doctors won't just remove a healthy limb so some apotomenophiliacs will purposely do harm to a limb in order to force an amputation. I was discussing this with a co-worker of mine and he asked me this question, "If you were sitting next to a apotomenophiliac and they fell off their chair, would you help them up?" So, would you?

Apotomenophiliac should not be confused with acrotomophilia, which is an erotic interest in people who ARE amputees.

Well perusing some wedding stuffs I discovered that many wedding site establishments charge a cake cutting fee. I've never heard of such nonsense. Isn't that why aunts were invented?
