Armin Meiwes (born 1 December 1961) is a German man who achieved international notoriety for killing and eating a voluntary victim whom he had found via the Internet.

After Meiwes and the victim jointly attempted to eat the victim's severed penis, Meiwes killed his victim and proceeded to eat a large amount of his flesh. Because of his deeds, Meiwes is also known as the Rotenburg Cannibal or Der Metzgermeister.

Since entering prison, Meiwes has become a vegetarian and has joined a prisoners' group favoring Green Party politics

 Found this while browsing http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/ (a lot of good stuff there)

Furries - An inside look
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdaOPW_kdXA

A relatively short, pro-furry documentary aimed to make all of us closeted, narrow-minded people realize that furries are so awesome.

Funny in its own way (they even have their own furry-comic)

I love this thread!

Any suggestions for documentaries on mathematics? Since I am in the social sciences, I get so jealous of mathematicians and those in the hard sciences and, this is probably weird and nerdy, but I like math(s) documentaries to relax. I watched that Horizon episode on Fermat's last theorem last night after my comprehensive exams.

Is this the one you saw on Fermat's last theorem ?

Just asking, because if there's another one, I'd love to see it.

In 1971 Ian Waterman was a butcher on Jersey. He was nineteen, newly qualified and working flat out to make a go of the business. Then suddenly he went down with what seemed to be gastric flu. But it wasn't. He became wobbly and weak. Within days he had collapsed and was in hospital, unable to move or feel his body.
