"The Real 127 Hours"? What a stupid title for this article, i'm not sure if it even makes sense.

@desert-boonie Little at the Daily Mail. They hack together articles from other sources, then throw in some AP photos. But it's handy for sensational news aggregation ... ;)

Way more real. 127 Hours guy ripped his own arm off. 50 Hours guy had a paramedic and anesthesiologist monitor him for a night and then had the amputation done by a surgeon.
