The winning bidder on an abandoned storage locker in Florida (where else?) [discovered](http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/29/us/florida-storage-body-parts/index.html?hpt=hp_t3) that it contained body parts from over 100 people. It previously belonged to an employee of the medical examiner’s office, who also worked as a private pathologist. These parts [included](http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/human-organs-found-fla-storage-locker-17095587) hearts, lungs, and brains, and they were stored in tupperware, trash bags, and even a Big Gulp cup, which suggests that they may have been removed with minimal formality. Police are investigating whether these body parts came off their owners consensually, or whether he was taking work home with him without anyone’s OK. Or, alternatively, if they belonged to criminals who had somehow managed to escape punishment by the justice system. ---

“I can get $5 for this. $10 for that one. You know how much a lung goes for these days? This is going to add up.” Best episode ever. ---
