"The embalmed heads are anatomical specimens used for research and were properly preserved, wrapped and labeled when they arrived at the airport from a medical research facility in Rome," she said in a statement.

You know what! I do not care for that attitude! Wrong is still wrong! It was people just like us that had the laws changed because grave robbing of bodies was somehow legal! Get off your high horse.

Medical research often oversteps the bounds of human decency. Your attitude that it is for medical research so it is fine is the epitome of ignorance.

Ghengis Khan would mark his territory by Stacking Piles of heads. 30 Feet High.

Now you read about him in History Class.

Someone needs to brush up on the practice of Giving Heads.

This story reminds me of that old movie "8 heads in a duffle bag" yet also makes me think, if these heads are so important why fly them at all? Why not set up shop where they came from? The whole story is just a bit out there and leaves me puzzled.

Lol, I figured it may have been mentioned, but I didn't skim through all the posts, my bad.

The good news is I haven't seen that movie in years! Looks like I will have to pay it a visit just because of this

-pushes a bass drum and two snares over-

Somebody tries to give head for christmas. Doesn't really say anything about the sex of the do-gooder... or does it?

I am confused now...

The company who got 40 heads. Medtronic Inc in Fort Worth, Texas. Are they playing with deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease?

en.wikipedia.org...

Cyborgs?

more importantly whose heads were they? could that have been the reason to get them away from the area so fast? to keep people from recognizing one of them? they are pretty close to pulling off brain transplants maybe they have a nice shiny new robot body for cheny like the one nixon got in futurama, you know the one with all the missiles, cause nobody would give him a heart. but seriously though wouldnt they have to ship those seperate because if the flesh was still attached isnt that a bio-hazzard especially if they didnt get every last drop of the blood or fluids out...

"Hint: They do not use living volunteers for the basic research."

It has to be Pope Benedict, he must have shot dead all the Vatican's whistle blowers and put their heads into

It's getting ridiculous you mean ..

The amount of irrational hype and fear that goes on around here has accelerated in recent months... Yeah it's always been a bit crazy but the scale is about to break.

But anyway.. the 18 heads are nothing but heads used for medical research.. the only strange thing about it is how they were found at the airport.... that's a serious case of lost luggage =)

My first thought was the movie 8 heads in a duffle bag

It had to be 18, 6+6+6=18. Or am I making connections that just aren`t their. Coincidence?
