Warning: You might find the following news item unpleasant reading.

It seems that sometimes reality is weirder than science fiction. Now, the strange news item at
http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/12/03/germany.cannibal.trial/index.html

reminded me of my reading, a few years ago, "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein. Specifically, where the news item says "... it was like taking communion".

It makes me wonder whether Mr. Meiwes read this book...

While it is generally known that computer experts are strange people, this is more than you would expect from most computer experts...
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
