In a total sidenote, it's kinda strange how seeing the phrase 'attempts suicide' immediately makes you think he failed even though, as this story points out, it's perfectly possible to attempt it and succeed. I never considered that before. I'll have to keep that in mind as a subtle insult to things I don't like.

Well, he did fail, when the story was first written. They had found him hanging somewhere, rescued him and took him off to the hospital. Later on, he died. Delayed success.

YAY! He succeeded!

That's a lotta yen, he must really like his staples and pens in order to spend that much money.

By pens i mean gambling addiction and by staples i mean hookers
