You’d think it would be common knowledge.
I was wondering what sort of “medical research” required human heads. Then I remembered Mary Roach’s book “Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers”, which had a chapter titled “A Head Is A Terrible Thing To Waste”.
She witnessed a facial anatomy and face-lift refresher course, in which surgeons practiced on unembalmed human heads from the recently deceased.* That’s not really “research” though. There could be forensic applications but I will not dwell on those.
*somehow, that seems freakier to me than med school experiences with intact cadavers in gross anatomy class.
I’ve only just started my collection. So far, I only have one.
The box was marked “One of Two.”
An alert has been issued by the carrier that the missing box contains eight human butts.

I would not actually have thought that the symbolic meaning of displaying someone’s head on a pike had evolved all that much over time.
< Must resist making rump roast joke >
Nah, the appropriate joke would be “can’t make heads nor tails without the boxes.”

Does it come as a DIY kit or do you need a body shop?
I hate to nitpick but isn’t a centipede without appendages no longer be a centipede?
Technically, you’d need 25 humans to make a real human centipede.
Would that make Steve Austin a monopede?
Hey, do you think if I put a raccoon head on a spike on my roof it would stop the little b*******s from trying to break into my attic?
I’m not a wildlife expert, but my surmise is that it would stop at least one raccoon.
[It could also serve as a marginally-fashionable weather vane]
The direction the smell is coming from would serve that purpose.
Is there a lucrative market in selling and shipping severed human heads?
Am I missing out? I assume all you need is a decent hacksaw and a lack of a moral compass.
It’s unique in that it’s a business where everyone starts at the top.
It feels like a relatively natural transition for the catalytic converter crew.
And it’s one way to get ahead.
Sure is!

I have contacted the Denver police & given them a very strong lead as to who the perpetrator might be.
It’s going to take a while for the cops to check out all the head shops in Denver.
