ok. gross. i tend to think of myself as a pretty tough guy (it helps me sleep at night), but even this it way above me. who would cut the pacemaker from his mothers chest with a kitchen knife immediatly after her death. well, apparently some texan would as a result of a battle with the insurance company. but who am i to judge. maybe he had a good reason to do such a thing. it just seemed weird and wrong to me. i dont know. just tell if norman bates moves to grand rapids.
