And so, I have an interesting long read for you this Sunday:

‘I felt sick that he was near my mum’: a top amputation surgeon had his own legs removed due to a fetish. Were his patients safe?

— The Guardian (@theguardian.com) 2026-08-01T09:02:54.741Z

This story is beyond strange, after every paragraph I was saying, “What the fuck?!”

And what was truly crazy, all the advertising on that article was dealing with chopping boards:

But before you read the article above…you may want to catch up on the case:

NHS surgeon who had his legs removed to satisfy sexual interest is jailed for fraudThis article is more than 10 months oldNeil Hopper took nearly £500,000 from insurers after falsely claiming he needed amputation because of sepsiswww.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025…

A surgeon who froze his legs so they would require amputation to satisfy a sexual obsession before making nearly £500,000 in insurance claims has been jailed.

Neil Hopper, a 49-year-old vascular surgeon, was given 32 months after he pleaded guilty to two charges of fraud by false representation. This related to claims made to insurance companies that his legs had been amputated because of sepsis rather than self-inflicted injury.

He also admitted three charges of possessing extreme pornographic images relating to videos from a website called the EunuchMaker.

Be sure to check out that first article…I can’t wait for the true crime documentary that I’m sure has to come one day.

That is so sad, I follow Vincent on social media and he just posted about his dog a few days ago. He will be missed.

That last photo is a picture of Brasstown Bald, the tallest mountain in Georgia. It is in the same county as Banjoville. I just thought that it was a pretty picture of the Milky Way.

You all stay safe, and take care. This is an open thread.
