I saw this show on the Discovery (or maybe it was A & E) about a woman who killed her son and then slit her own throat to make it look as if someone broke into her home and tried to kill both of them, except she survived because she didn't actually cut deep enough. So yeah, if a person is out of their mind they can do a lot of wacky shit.

My former brother in law, after trying to kill my sister who escaped thanks to a male friend of hers. Slit his throat, drank toilet bowl cleaner and wrote I love you in blood on her walls.
FYI...he lived.

Funny you should ask, chiqui and indygirl -- I'm working (as an editor) on a textbook and just today got through a section on incised wounds. The suicidal throat-slashing (or wrist-slashing, for that matter) is often distinctive because the suicidal person will make numerous "test" cuts before taking the plunge and inflicting the fatal wound. They're called hesitation marks. And you're right: How anyone can be in enough psychic pain to actually do that to himself is mind-boggling (and sad).

Wasn't there an alternate ending for Fatal Attraction where Glenn Close slits her own throat? I seem to recall something. She's sitting on the floor and is holding the butcher knife up against her throat w/ her elbow sticking out. Then, she falls sideways so her elbows smashes into the floor, which in turn sends the knife into her own thoat. I know it isn't real, but I can totally see someone trying that in desperate times.
Also, there are the people who want to frame someone else for murder so they stick a knife between a door and its jam and then throw themselves backwards and into it. Supposedly, only another person could stab you in the back; your arms aren't long enough to do it yourself.

Shelly Winters had a heart attack last Friday. She's 85, however, her family says she's doing well and should be released in the next week. Not quite at death's door but perhaps she moves up a bit in the death pool.

Whoa... I just came here to post that, SuzyP. I was actually most shocked to find out she's still alive.

Rosa Parks dies at 92.I think she was somewhat of a celebrity after the recent lawsuits involving her. She did a lot for civil rights, rest in peace, Rosa!

Rosa Parks was a pioneer in Civil Rights - she refused to go to the back of the bus, paving the way for everyone to claim their rightful place in society. Rest in Peace.
