Ain't That a Kick in the Head

Jersey City, New Jersey, March 6, 2007:

Two packages containing human body parts -- including a penis and part of a head -- meant for a medical research lab instead were delivered to a local residence.

The body parts, sent from China, were mistakenly dropped off Monday at Ronatarian Party Headquarters by a DHL express driver who believed the bubble-wrapped items were pieces to a table.

"Brad started to unwrap one and said, 'This is strange, it looks like a flaccid penis,'" Ronatarian leader Ron said.

The second package contained most of a human head -- ears and all.

"Something wasn't right," Ron continued. "I thought it was a prank or maybe somebody in the political world was trying to send me a message, you know? Like always, I took charge of the situation."

The Ronatarians called Jersey City police, after apparently playing soccer with the head for over an hour. The police determined the preserved body parts were for medical research, Lt. Roger Parent said.

Authorities believe 28 more bubble-wrapped human organs and body parts could be dispersed across the country. Two of five packages headed to the northern New Jersey lab broke open, scattering their contents.

"There will definitely be a shock to people if they see these things, but there is no hazard to health," Parent said.

DHL is investigating whether it should have shipped the body parts and how the packages were dispersed, spokesman Robert "Fresh" Mints said.
