But people in uniform are always perfectly sane:

'Cannibal cop' allegedly wanted to cook woman for Thanksgiving

Prosecutors said phone and computer records showed he had been building a database of women -- complete with personal information and physical descriptions -- as part of a plot to kidnap, torture, cook and eat them.

"This case is all the more disturbing when you consider Valle's position as a New York City police officer and his sworn duty to serve and protect," the U.S. attorney, Preet Bharara, said in a statement at the time.

No, this particular temple has him reborn as a Yaksha:

Yaksha (Sanskrit: ààà¥à yaká£a)[1] is the name of a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent, who are caretakers of the natural treasures hidden in the earth and tree roots.

I'm not being flip here, but it essentially reminds me of a Leprechaun.

"In Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist mythology, the yaká£a has a dual personality. On the one hand, a yaká£a may be an inoffensive nature-fairy, associated with woods and mountains; but there is also a darker version of the yaká£a, which is a kind of ghost (bhuta) that haunts the wilderness and waylays and devours travelers, similar to the raká£asas."

According to the temple, Steve Jobs hasn't gotten angry yet, so he's still in the "inoffensive nature-fairy" phase and not the "haunting the wilderness and waylaying and devouring travelers phase."

  However, if he gets angry... watch out!
