Two Georgia men survived a gruesome suicide attempt Friday after cutting their own arms off with a saw, reported Atlanta's Journal Constitution.

The 40 and 41-year-old men managed to remove three of their four arms, cutting them about six inches about their wrists, Atlanta Police Major Lane Hagin told the Journal.

The men left a suicide note with the manager of their apartment building saying they were killing themselves because they were recently diagnosed with HIV and their business had failed, according to police.

The men are in stable condition at a local hospital and will undergo psychiatric tests, a police spokesman said.

Someone didn't think this though. One guy was going to have to cut off his last arm by magic

No doubt that their inability to do adequate planning is why their business failed.

Oh great, HIV infected blood spewed all over the apartment.

Lemme guess, the owner of the 4th arm was nominated to dial 911.

What else are table saws for?

Maybe this is the new "in-thing" like piercings, tatoos and brandings. Soon the shopping malls will be packed with kids wearing baggy pants and missing arms.

These two HIV-infected dolts are being kept alive thanks to the enforced generosity of the US taxpayer!

They were probably aware that wrist-slitting often fails, and figured a (power?) saw would do the job.

Lends a whole new thrill to 'body modification' I'd guess...

Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend?
Think of me as your friend,
And I think we can make it.
One more time, if we try.
One more time for all of the old old old times.
