So, um, where's the body?? lol Okay, hopefully this was one of those old heads, but, geez. When I saw the headline woman arrested for carrying human head, I thought Hillary had finally snapped. ; )
Airport baggage screeners found a human head with teeth, hair and skin in the luggage of a woman who said she intended to ward off evil spirits with it, authorities said Friday.
Myrlene Severe, 30, a Haitian-born permanent U.S. resident, was charged Friday with smuggling a human head into the U.S. without proper documentation.
Customs and Border Protection officials found the head Thursday, after Severe arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on a Lynx International Airlines flight from Cap Haitien, Haiti, said Barbara Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Miami.
"It still had teeth, hair and bits of skin and lots of dirt," Gonzalez said.
"Haitian born." Think: Voo-Doo. (But don't say it out loud for fear of inciting worldwide voo-doo riots and embassy burnings.)

"hopefully this was one of those old heads"
Huh? That just sounds funny--like, it's ok to carry around bodyless heads, provided they're old. ROFL
