Birth date
The German version of Wikipedia claims that Armin Meiwes was born in 1962, not 1961. Which is correct? Yogi de 14:57, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Redirected Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes to this article, since the only thing he is known for was being eaten by Meiwes--nixie 06:40, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

That's quite a whimsical thing to be known for... 71.141.116.41 05:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I was going to say something in response to your use of whimsical, meaning "playfully quaint or fanciful especially in a amusing or appealing way," but I decided you speak for yourself. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mac_Davis (talk • contribs). (See diff)

Details
Any details on the actual murder itself? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.155.154.25 (talk • contribs). (See diff)
 * --> answer: I hope you don't want to see the video? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.240.225.110 (talk • contribs) 20:37, 12 January 2006 (See diff)

Actually, I concur with the above users statement, this article needs to be expanded on, a brief snippet of a news article on the demand for his charge to be upgraded to murder has yielded more information than Wiki has. And for the record, I'm not sure whether 'the video' is out there, but I highly recommend no linkage to such content. 211.30.80.121 01:28, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Could someone put in that currently he is suing Rammstein because of Mein Teil, as well as the makers of the movie Rotenburg (based on the events, scheduled to be released in march)? 70.178.115.165 23:02, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

He's suing? This boggles the mind. Sure, he's very sick, but even he must realise that such a sensational crime would find its way into popular culture... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.96.26 (talk • contribs) 05:51, 16 January 2006 (See diff)

How sick is he really though? He saw what made him happy, crazy or not. The other guy agreed. Its weird, but its just the S&M of S&M. I dont want to ever do that, but both of those people were happy. Whatever. Gross. But whatever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.19.98.213 (talk • contribs) 07:30, 22 February 2006 (See diff)

Don't hope people aren't serious. It's disrespectful. Roy Harmon 04:53, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

According to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4752797.stm, Meiwes and his victim had sex. Is this true? If so, it should be mentioned in the article. 71.2.169.184 15:48, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Creepy picture
If someone can find a good, freely usable picture, I would definitely support exchanging it for the current creepy one. The current picture might be deleted because of its unclear copyright status, anyway. -- Kjkolb 06:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I did some looking around. All I can find are a couple of pics of him with a blank stare.  CardinalFangZERO 17:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm so tired of all this concern about copyright status on wiki. ALL copyrighted pictures COULD be used here under Fair Use. I know that they're NOT, but research and comment upon is a perfectly legitimate Fair Use.

Not years but months
"they met in March 2001" and Meiwes was arrested in 2002. So he could not eat him for next years but for at max. months - someone said 10 months. kath —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.168.7.193 (talk • contribs) 17:01, 3 March 2006 (See diff)

Photo Copyright
The photo used in this article appears to be an Associated Press file photo. The uploaded picture did not contain permission content. Taco325i 07:30, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

You know what's really stupid? The picture still shows if you go under history. This discussion is so pointless, it is a bunch of people being technical about details. Almost everyone on Wikipedia misses the point. Oh! I didn't sign my name! Whine about it!

Vandalism?
"Brandes apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis rare, but could not because it was too tough and as he put it, 'chewy'."--is this a legitimate quote?

-Only way to know for sure would be to watch the video - Something which isn't recommended. ~ Magicana


 * Where can I watch the video? I would really really love to watch it. Skinnyweed 18:47, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * ewww... ewww.... and double ewwww!! Plus, you do realise it is most probably illegal to have a copy of the video wherever you are? Mathmo 11:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Why would it be illegal? Doesn't matter anyway, I'll get it illegally. Skinnyweed 14:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


 * now that's the spirit Lenn0r 20:08, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If the only way you'd know is by watching the video and no one here has or wants to (few exceptions it seems) I don't think it belongs in the article 70.57.63.159 03:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Perhaps someone could just listen to it instead of looking? If you need a quote, you don't necessarily have to look. BrainRotMenacer 19:27, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

"cannabalistic internet user"
i wonder if the internet would have existed during hitler's time if his wiki article would start "a vegatarian internet user who slaughtered 11 million in the Holocaust." just found the phrase amusing lol Lenn0r 20:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I found it pretty offputting too --Nosmo 15:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Bloodbath reference
Does anyone have a source for this? Frankly, songs about cannibalism are very common in death metal, and Bloodbath is an exercise in recreating "old skool" death metal, so that makes it even more likely that the song is exploring a standard theme as opposed to current events. --Nosmo 15:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

No cannibalism crime in Germany?
I seem to recall that some of the difficulty in charging the case was due to Germany actually not having a law prohibiting cannibalism at the time. Is this true? Kelvingreen 17:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * According to the BBC it is, so I've added it. Kelvingreen 21:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * There is no law against cannibalism. There are never laws against things that never happened before. Killing is a crime, and doing nasty stuff to corpses is a crime, but eating it is not a crime by itself. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.189.199.14 (talk) 00:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

Undeletable Message!?
"JUDEN JUDEN ANGE!! YOU MUST DIE!

You to anders"

- it's said in the text at the end, but it can't be edited!? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.51.120.44 (talk) 17:36, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
