Bizarre story of the day

18 human heads found at O’Hare on last leg of final journey

The heads were shipped from the United States to Rome for medical research, and they were then shipped back again to be cremated, Paleologos said. She said she didn’t know the name of the cremation service or where the heads began their journey in the United States.

Question...don't the Italians have heads of their own to examine? Why couldn't they dispose of them there rather than ship them back? I feel sorry for the poor worker who discovered the contents of the shipment, who may have taken the whole thing with aplomb, or may be bibbling in a hospital somewhere. :)
