How A. Meiwses-ing of Him

German Armin Meiwes ate a willing participant Bernd Jurgen Brandes and got a life sentence for it.

"Judges at the first trial said they based their verdict of manslaughter on defence evidence which suggested Meiwes' victim had volunteered to be eaten and killed. Meiwes maintained that he would "never have touched" his victim had he not wanted to be killed." The Independent


This reminds me of a joke my brother claimed he made up:
Two cannibals are eating a dude. Cannibal A says to Cannibal B, "How is it?"
Cannibal B says, "I'm having a ball."

My brother was about 10 when he first told me this.
