And for that matter, do you really believe that Wagstaff plans to grind up his father's skull, or is his announcement just a provocation?

I'm guessing his dad used the metal end of the belt when he was growing up... sounds quite morbid and as 'innovative" as the guy who stuffed his cat and turned it into a quadcopter.
