Man Attempts Suicide by Crucifixion
HARTLAND, ME Â A Hartland man was treated at a Pittsfield hospital after he nailed himself to a cross. The 23-year-old man apparently was trying to commit suicide Thursday evening in his living room, the Bangor Daily News reported.
Somerset County Sheriff Barry DeLong said Monday that no charges will be filed. "There is no crime here," he said.
Police said the man appeared delusional and told them he had been "seeing pictures of God on the computer." He told them he had not seen the hit movie "The Passion of the Christ," which depicts the Crucifixion of Jesus.
Lt. Pierre Boucher said the man took two pieces of wood, nailed them together in the form of a cross and placed them on the floor. He attached a suicide sign to the wood and then proceeded to nail one of his hands to the makeshift cross using a 14-penny nail and a hammer.
"When he realized that he was unable to nail his other hand to the board, he called 911," Boucher said.
It was unclear whether the man was seeking assistance for his injury or help in nailing down his other hand.

And now the funny comments:
More than the self-crucifixion, the failure to think this through shows that this man is insane.
Any sane man would be able to at least walk through the steps before hand..
Lets see, going to need some wood, four nails, a hammer... Ok, foot, foot, hand... Hmmm wait a minute..
The other issue is the setting.. living room? Really? What, you want to catch that last episode of Lost? What's worse is I know he had the TV on.
...and now the weather...
This also kind of reminds me of any number of projects I did in grade school while sitting in front of the TV in the living room..
Lets see, going to need some posicle sticks, some construction paper, hot glue, that's going to be messy, better spread out some newspaper.
