How would you like to get this in the mail?
Two packages that contained human body parts – a liver, and part of a human head – were delivered to someones home. The body parts were supposed to have been delivered to a medical research lab, but they obviously didn’t make it there did they?
The body parts had been sent from China. The gory package was mistakenly delivered in early March to the home of Franck and Ludivine Larmande by DHL express. The delivery company driver believed the bubble wrapped body parts were pieces of a table.
“My husband started to unwrap one and said, ‘This is strange, it looks like a liver,’” Ludivine Larmande said. “He started the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear.
“Something wasn’t right. It was scary, and I’m glad I didn’t open them.”
The couple called Kent County, Mich. sheriff’s deputies who examined the packages and determined that the preserved body parts were for medical research.
Unfortunately authorities now believe that there might be 28 more bubble wrapped human body parts dispersed across the country. Two of five packages that had been heading to the Northern Michigan lab broke open scattering their contents. The shipping company, DHL, has been investigating whether it should have shipped the body parts and how the packages were dispersed.
“There will definitely be a shock to people if they see these things, but there is no hazard to health,” Parent said.
You have to wonder if anyone receiving these body parts will think that a serial killer is sending them to them, eh? What do you think?

Chinese officials are upset about the name of a teahouse and have ordered it’s name to be changed.
The name roughly translates as “Frog Keeps a Mistress” – what, haven’t they ever read any Grimes fairy tales?
The officials think that the name threatens public morality. However the manager insists that the name wasn’t meant to be risque. Mistresses are a touchy subject in China, where many communist party officials have been criticized for keeping women on the side.
Ah I see, what’s good for the goose isn’t good for the gander? Yeah …

A court in China has ordered a Chinese television production company to pay damages to a man who received more than 3,000 nuisance messages after his mobile phone number was used in a police TV drama.
The court said the Runshi Rongguang Film Production Co. should have made sure the number was not in use before having a villain say it aloud on-screen, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported.
The company was ordered to pay $256 to the mobile phone customer, Chen Bing.
Chen, 39, says he started receiving a stream of text messages in July 2004.
“It was so annoying, and for a long time I wondered why I was getting all these text messages,” he said.
Chen discovered that his number had been used in a TV series called “Chinese Police – September Storm,” broadcast between 2004-06 and later released on DVD. A villain spoke the number slowly, to allow another character to write it down.
The company said it made up the number from a staff member’s birthday and did not mean to cause trouble, according to Xinhua.
