My Weird Shit-o-Meter Goes Up to 11...

And this pegs it:

Dead Reverend's Rubber Fetish
OCTOBER 8--An Alabama minister who died in June of "accidental mechanical asphyxia" was found hogtied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized underwear, and a head mask, according to an autopsy report.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

All I can think of is J from "Men In Black": "This definitely rates about a 9.0 on my weird-shit-o-meter."

Or, alternately from X-Files: "...autoerotic asphyxiation is a really undignified way to die."

That is definitely all...

I am definitely a "live and let live" kind of guy but holy shit.

I can't figure out how they have determined that this guy did not have some help along to way to wind up the way he wound up.

Surely he was playing "SEAHUNT" with somebody besides himself.

That was pretty much my take as well... I mean, flippers? Really?

My initial response was similar to you guys: "holy crap, what a weirdo".

After thinking it over, it's a question of why do we know this? Surely the family didn't release this info. What happened to privacy? Don't get me wrong, as a Christian I'd say that that 'reverend' shouldn't have been within a zip code of leading a church, but.......as a human & an American I have to say that if someone wants to put on a wet suit & explore the terrain, it's their business - not the public's.

I know I'd sure hate for someone to publicize some stuff that's happened to me in my lifetime, even though I admit to being a lifelong square.

That is a bit weird.

The thing that bothers me is the hypocrisy. Does he practice what he preaches?

Privacy is a myth.
