April 22

Rochester resident Amanda Martin just received insurance money after her husband accidentally killed himself in December 2008. But what stands as the height of stupidity is HOW he killed himself.

According to herself and to the police, he deliberately attached his genitalia to wiring in order to cure his erectile dysfunction. What makes this action even more ridiculous is that Mr Martin was an electrical engineer.

Needless to say, his erectile dysfunction has not been cured.
