Now that's something you don't hear about every day

A box of human heads was stolen from a truck that was transporting the body parts for medical research, officials in Denver said.

*****

I can only imagine the look on the thief's face when he opened the box and saw what was inside.

  2. The University of Colorado Anschutz. I wonder if they have a shooting team or gunsmithing school.

  3. Haven’t seen Fauci lately. Probably needed them for a new science project. CDC says it will be safe and effective, so nothing to see here, move along. Eod1sg Ret

  4. Imagine the look on his face if he was Hatian. I can almost hear the heady conversation.

  5. Either a pshrink looking for new patients, or a lazy head-hunter immigrant from Papua-New Guinea.

  6. ENT residents and dental surgeons use them to learn detailed anatomy and practice head surgery before being set loose on actual patients. Easier to store than a whole cadaver, which they don't need. Very expensive and sad loss.

  8. They should put a note in the box saying this is what happens to you when you steal from us.

  10. The article contained this hidden gem:

    "Fields could only guess as to where the body parts were headed."

    Clever.

  11. I inherited my grandparents house 35yrs ago. While cleaning up I found a box with a skull & left hand bones professionally wired up. Local police didn't care so I found a company in NY that gave me $1,000 for the skull & $100 for the hand. Wonder what they go for now.

  12. Human skulls are actually pretty pricey, science, witches, and the creepy types all pay for them. I'm actually surprised grave robbing isn't more common simply for the skulls.

  13. The last full real skeleton I priced was $3500 at Maxillas and Mandibles in NYC in 1997. I opted for the $500 plastic one instead.

    Looking for a half decent brain, and new skin for Nancy.
