Twilight Zone: Body Parts Delivery

Twilight Zone: Body Parts Delivery. And I thought the post office was
messed up!! DHL delivered packages containing some human body parts to a
residence instead of to the medical facility that it was supposed to go
to. The strange part? Well, that was, naturally. But there’s more. The
driver thought the bubble-wrap items were pieces to a table.

Seems the husband starts to unwrap the packages and sees what appears to
be a liver!! Gross! They called the sheriff’s office. So would I, after
the screaming, of course. Oh yeah, the rest of the body parts? Some
twenty eight packages? Gonna show up all over the country. It’s going to
be an interesting mail day for several days.


Twilight Zone: Body Parts Delivery

CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Two packages containing human body parts -
including a liver and part of a head - meant for a medical research lab
instead were delivered to a home.

The body parts, sent from China, were mistakenly dropped off Thursday
at Franck and Ludivine Larmande’s home by a DHL express driver who
believed the bubble-wrapped items were pieces to 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 sheriff’s deputies, who determined the
preserved body parts were for medical research, Lt. Roger Parent said.

Twilight Zone: Fake Fur Isn’t, It’s DOG

Filed under: Are They Nuts?, Enter The Twilight Zone, GROSS stuff — The Total Peanut @ 11:45 pm

Twilight Zone: This time it’s about fake and not-so-fake furs. Nothing
will turn my stomach faster than a story about inhumane treatment of
children or animals. There was a story, straight from the twilight zone,
that stated this…most of the fake or faux furs are not fake. They are
made from dog fur. It is truly disgusting what companies and
corporations will do to make a buck. In this case, most of those who
place these furs in the stores apparently had no idea that they were
like that. Well known places like Macy’s, Burlington Coat Factory, Lord
and Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue and celeb lines are all finding that they
are selling dog fur. In fact, when the humane society tested the
so-called fakes, 24 of 25 were actual animal fur. This is gross,
outrageous and inhumane. What we have here is people are dropping the
ball. No one is checking the fakes…at least until the humane society
decided to do so.

Fur
Advertised As Fake Actually Came From Dogs

Feb. 9, 2007 — From the runway to the racks of mass retailers, fake
fur is all the rage. But a recent investigation by the Humane Society
found that what’s labeled and advertised as faux fur isn’t always fake.
In testing a sampling of coats, they found that 24 out of 25 samples
were mislabeled — most contained the fur of a raccoon dog, a dog that
looks like a raccoon.

We need to call the retailers and let them know we will not buy such a
product. Let someone know that this is not acceptable. That’s all for
now from the Total Peanut.

Meth Users Turning To Urine To Get High

Filed under: Are They Nuts?, GROSS stuff — The Total Peanut @ 11:51 pm

Now this is just plain GROSS. Ewwwww!!! Seems that the police raided a
storage locker and smelled something bad right away. Some guy had stored
50 gal. jugs of urine. Pretty puzzling, huh? Well, after a bit of
searching, one of the narcotics officers suddenly figured out that it
was meth lab. It’s a new way to get meth. Some people drink the
meth-tainted urine outright to get high. Others filter the drug back out
through the cooking process.

Now I’M SICK. Yuk! Go ahead. You read the story for yourself. I’m going
back to reading nice stories about obnoxious parrots.
