Shoulda stuck to office supplies:
Gainesville neurologist arrested with human body parts in house
Wonder if he took a ‘Palm’ pilot from work too?
Wonder if he was trying to assemble a girlfriend one piece at a time a’la Johnny Cash and his car.
I’ve gotta think this hurts his tenure chances.
Well… at least the long arm of the law got him.
He won’t have a leg to stand on.
Awww. Have a heart. Anyone w/a brain knows this isn’t a punny situation. Eye’d have fingered y’all to have known better. BUt ear’s the tooth, eye don’t have the stomach for this kind of thing. eye think eye kneed to sit down.
(A friend of mine who lives 2 miles away from this guy claims it’s really a quiet, nice town that I should visit.
From screech-owl’s article:
If I were one of his colleagues I would be feeling a little nervous right now. :eek:
Which, wring Gainesville? gag Most people I know here are dying to finish their degrees so they can leave. But it takes all kinds, I guess.
As a sad commentary on my own awareness of local issues, this guy is at the university I attend, and yet, I first hear about this on the SDMB. Geez.
I especially like the part where the spokesman notes that the school hadn’t given him permission to take home body parts.
I think you KNOW that you’ve made it as a scientist if your school DOES give you permission to take home body parts.
And wouldn’t THAT permission slip be a real conversation piece? Suitable for framing, too.
Suprised his last name wasn’t Frankenstein.
Nah, I’ll bet his name was Igor. That’s “Eye-gor” and yes, that hump was on the other shoulder just a moment ago.
No Plam Pilots, but he had several pilots’ palms 
Got guts, has he?
The questions I had:
What possible research could he have done at home that he couldn’t do at work?
How does one take such “work” home? “This arm? Not to worry, my dear man, I just need to finish up some research at home tonight.”
Is he so overworked he cannot complete such research at the office?
At least the university fired him. I could see the headline, “Gainesville neurologist on paid leave following…”
I wonder where he kept…
I had a biologist cousin that kept dead birds in the refrigerator.
At my old job, we had dead warblers in the freezer for necropsy, each individually wrapped in foil (I remember: it was the day I had chicken for lunch). And I had a couple of dead pelican under my desk for a day, waiting for the UPS guy to pick them up for shipping. But my boss knew they were there; in fact, he put them there.
I’m just wondering how the Tupperware people are putting a spin on this. I’ll bet they’re wishing he used Rubbermaid instead.
And what’s wrong with that?
I had a dead Barn Owl and a dead marmoset (road kills) in my freezer for quite a while.
“They all said I was Mad at the University…”
I wonder if he had any brains in jars. Were they labeled “good” and “Abnormal”? (“Abby… someone. Yes, Abby…normal. That was it.”)
Hell, I have a dead chicken in my refrigerator right now!
(Well, not really - but I could if I wanted to)
Update: Brilliant, but troubled
Didn’t his wife say he kept a human head under the kitchen sink?
Imagine having to move that puppy around while digging for the garbage bags or the dishwasher detergent???
The cat likes to open the door under the sink to check for rodents…
