I'm reminded of the story of the chap in Singapore recently who was carjacked. One of those fancy new motors with fingerprint ignition. When the robbers couldn't start it, they cut off his finger so they could drive off with it.

Don't know about you, but I'll never use my fingerprint as a security measure. Thieves willing to steal your keys to break in might also be willing to take the finger that replaces those keys.

In a strange way, I'm sure it is what he would have wanted. Probably would have wanted it to happen in another 30 years, but popping your clogs doing something you love isn't a bad way to leave the world.
