Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend Me Your Ears

Does that line make you think of Cary Elwes in Robin Hood: Men in Tights? That's what I always think of. Sadly, that scene is also what I thought of when I read this article this morning.

Yeah, how does a company whose job is to deliver packages get things this messed up? For that matter, what do you do when DHL delivers a table, a liver and part of a head to you? I guess calling the police is the best way to start. At least they know that these are specially preserved remains that were for educational purposes rather than anything else, but it's still not ok to have these delivered to your home.

The worst part is that they don't know exactly what happened or how, so there may be more people out there who will end up with some weird deliveries.
