• This story will disappear very quickly, It has no legs.

• Shrunken?

• The linked article is a blurb so we don't find out if the heads were frozen or just in crates with bubble wrap or something. There is a Google ad for Chicago dermatology at the linked page.

• Did they find any feet?

• Ponder this, bitches: no matter how bad you think you have it, there are people that don't have a head, and do you hear them complaining? I didn't think so.

• Decapitated heads? That's HILARIOUS!!!

• [quote]Authorities said no foul play was suspected, according to the newspaper. Yes because severing a human head from its body is so easily accomplished.

• I know I have nearly lost my head several times trying to make connecting flights there

• Well, it is Chicago.

  Shithole

• The Tribune has it as their lead wire story. The shipment came from Rome and was marked research but the final destination was unclear and the shipper has yet to come forward...

• Reminds me of this story: CALCUTTA, India (Reuters) - Police in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal found 86 human skulls at a bus stand after complaints of a stench coming from an unclaimed bag.

• They come from Rome you say? There is nothing to see here. Move on!

• But their luggage made their connections.

• I wouldn't go as far as r18, yet Chicago is a miserable city.

• r19, many many many people feel otherwise about Chicago. Count me as one of the millions who escaped and counting my blessings every single day that I did. Horrible city.

• This is an economist's idea of a service economy.

• They just happened to come from Italy? Yeah right.

• Exotic imports?

• [quote] A shipment of 18 human heads stopped by customs officials at O'Hare International Airport was sent here from Rome to be cremated after being used in medical research, officials said today.

• I don't understand the big hoopla. I've always been told that Chicagoans love to get head.

• Don't blow your tops people! Medical research noggins.

• The nutjobs over at Freerepublic have already said they were gun owners whose paperwork wasn't in order.

• Because they don't have crematoriums in Rome?

• [quote] Because they don't have crematoriums in Rome? Cremation is a not looked upon kindly in the Catholic church

• ...Nor is donating your corpse to scientific research.

• They don't have crematoria in Chicago either, all the bodies have to be shipped to the suburbs.

• From Rome? Or from Vatican City?

• Probably in the the Delta catering

• Like there is no cremation closer than Chicago?

• R22 Count me as another one glad to get away from that shithole. Mean ass people, crime-ridden, and rundown.

• Can we talk about rotting infrastructure, traffic grid lock, and horrible weather too.

• Wow, only insane DL posters could make this about the pros and cons of Chicago as a city. Who CARES if you like or don't like it? Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one.

• LOL, R49.

• I can't even get a dildo through security, yet they don't bat an eye at a box full of 17 human heads???

• No kidding R52. Talk about burying the lede.

• Momma had a baby and its HEAD popped off!

• R19. Thank you--it's my hometown and I'm glad to see someone else defend it. I do wonder what 18's story is--he leaps on any opportunity to bad mouth it.

• Im with R42, I was born and raised on the North Side. Live in Portland now. When I went back to see family over the holiday, the first thing I heard in OHare was some guy with one of those loud-mouth Chicago accents. Everyone there is just rude. Any sentimentality went right out the window, I'm never going back.
