What a horrific thing to happen. That guy is a freaking black vortex of death-causing…
WTF? I, being the horrible person I am, imagine him driving erratically as he cursed, trying to retrieve the head rolling around in the floorboard, then BOOM!
…or the cop who witnessed the accident looking inside the vehicle and DUM-DUM-DUM-DUMMMM…a severed head!

They say he was “transporting” the head. You’ve got to wonder where he was transporting it to…

Thanks for starting this thread. I wanted to, but couldn’t come up with any titles better than: :eek: :eek: :eek: (which wouldn’t have coded properly); or just palin old, “What in the hell is wrong with some people?”
I say we screw this whole ignorance-fighting thing and just head for the hills…or Mars.

And I’d just like to point out the Google ads. There are four right now:
NAVY SEAL OPPORTUNITIES
ARMY AND NAVY
US NAVY SEAL JEWELRY RING

uh…jewelry? I don’t want to know.

Indeed, this is very weird. But as a cake-taker, you’re not going to beat the “My coworker has been cannibalized!” (I don’t remember the actual title) thread anytime soon.

[An old collegue of mine was voluntarily cannibalised and killed T M friggin’ I](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=174724).
Looking at the guy’s last name, I can just see Father Time using his syckle.

Maybe he just wanted to use the carpool lane.

Imagine the fun you could have!

Would also make for a great vetriloquist dummy.
