That was scary. Almost caused me to build a 25' high stockade fence around my house. But then I realized something. Anybody who has the gall to send a major news paper a picture like that is harmless. Probably lives in an five story ivory tower with rats and feeds grapes to squirrels. Sad, Very sad. But what the heck, You just go and run with whatever pack that turns you on kid. Everbody has a right to act silly part of the time. |

Published on Feb 12, 2003
A new clue emerged yesterday in a series of thefts of old human skulls and rare preserved foetuses - including Siamese twins - from Siriraj Hospital, when it was revealed that a famous foreign museum contacted the hospital about renting some of its anatomical exhibits, police said yesterday.
The hospital never told police about this important clue in its previous complaints, said Lieutenant Sarawut Winaiprasert, who is in charge of two out of five complaints filed by Siriraj Hospital's Department of Anatomy, which runs the Congdon Anatomical Museum. The new information would be passed on to police investigation teams who are looking for additional suspects - one man has already been convicted - and trying to retrieve the stolen objects, Sarawut said. On Monday, a high-ranking official at the Congdon Museum was quoted as saying that a private foreign museum contacted the Congdon about renting a large number of the rare preserved foetuses and unborn Siamese twins, as well as some valuable old human skulls. The official reportedly believed the private museum should be considered a suspect, as it was unhappy about having its request to borrow certain items denied. One of these was a perfect specimen that had been on display at the museum since it was established in 1927, said the official, who asked not to be named. The skull was later stolen. Sarawut said one thief was caught red-handed in July 2002 stealing human skulls. The man was convicted and sentenced to two years and six months in jail, he said.
Just one day after the thief was arrested, the 1927 skull disappeared. The official attributed the additional disappearance to the museum's loose security system and a lack of awareness on the part of museum officials. In January this year, Siriraj filed three more complaints of thefts at Congdon involving two collections - one of rare foetuses and one of preserved unborn Siamese twins. In the wake of the series of thefts, the museum has tightened its security system, asking visitors to leave their bags in lockers provided at the entry gate. "I regret that those things have been stolen. They were very valuable not only for the museum but also for the country's education," said Poramintr Bumrungkhate, a science student who said he once had the chance to catch a glimpse of the stolen 1927 skull.
"Shame on the thieves and those selfish people behind the thefts," said another student.

Here is where we were discussing MANH: Subject 54298. Of course that was a year ago and the info is dated, but the thread is still good reading if you are into that sort of thing.

One Christmas, while I was still in Medicine, I sent him a pair of Siamese Twins fetuses I had planned to dissect. Ed collected duck decoys. His father crafted them. One of the biggest honors Ed bestowed upon me was finding a place for the twins (in a glass jar of formalin) on the same mantle with his old man's duck decoys.

Also, in this particular teaching institution’s archives, there was a very special pair of Siamese twins, stillborn, that were joined at the torso. I always thought these Siamese twins would make a very interesting dissection, but I knew the director of autopsy services would never agree to allow the specimen to be dissected.
My plan was to hide the formalin container, with the Siamese twins, in the autopsy suite with the other specimens stored there until I felt it safe enough to perform the dissection. Unfortunately I never reached a comfort level for such a risky venture. As luck would have it though, an addition of a new wing to the hospital resulted in the archives being moved to a new location. Many specimens were lost or misplaced in the shuffle. They’d never miss it.
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful heist? Imagine, Siamese twins! By this time I also decided that the specimen was too precious to debase by cutting it to shreds. I knew I wanted to steal the twins now, but I didn’t have a fucking clue what I would do with them once I got them! If you don’t dissect them, what the fuck do you do with them, put ‘em on the coffee table? Almost….
I put the formalin container, with the Siamese twins, in a box and sealed it meticulously. I wrapped it real nice. It was Christmas time and the twins were going to make an excellent Christmas gift for that special someone. I sent it off with a nice card and best Christmas wishes.
About a week later, I received a thank-you from the recipient of my gift, it read;
Gary,
Thank-you for the really wonderful and rather bizarre gift. I gave it a special place on my mantel alongside my father’s hand-carved duck decoys.
Merry Christmas,
Ed (Paschke) |
