NOTE Well 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
A Birmingham (UK) man died after stabbing himself with a chisel recently. It transpired that the circumstances surrounding his death were somewhat illegal.
The man was an amatuer money forger, who liked to test out new notes. However, the latest banknotes had caused him some problems, since they incorporate a hologram. So this man decided, after scanning a fiver (Brits will know what's coming here) into his PC, to remove the hologram with a chisel so as to examine it further. He took the note and chisel into the dining room and attempted to prise off the hologram. Of course, any woodworker knows to hold the chisel with two hands and use the side of your hand to hold the work. This forger held the note in front of the chisel, which slipped, stabbing his hand.
