SuperDuper Gross Creep-Out Story of the Day

Do FedEx guys know what they are delivering? They probably prefer not to know.

"An errant shipment of human body parts from China, destined for a U.S. laboratory, went mistakenly to the doorstep of a horrified Michigan couple on Thursday as a result of a delivery slip-up.

Franck Larmande discovered the error when he plunged his hands into the first of two packages labelled in Chinese and found a bubble-wrapped liver. Box No. 2 contained a partial human head.

"He started [opening] the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear," Franck's wife, Ludivine, told the Grand Rapids Press newspaper. " (CBC)

I have a friend who is an inside worker at the post office- she says they transport baby chicks by the mail (you can hear the crates cheeping)-- so far, no reports of body parts from china tho'

I wonder how you insure a partial human head....

Also I can't imagine that the delivery guy is all thsat thrilled either. Ewww! I've been driving around all morning with a box of bady parts!

Well that would be my reaction.

And do we know if these items had been preserved in some way? Surely, otherwise the smell......
