    Okay, digging up skulls from the cemetery isn’t exactly what I’d consider good manners, but at least he didn’t kill them.

    I hope.

      I accidentally dug up a human skeleton at work once. Maybe uncovered is a better word.

      Anyway I only got a nasty cold for like a week

    I just looked up his Facebook out of curiosity. It hasn’t been removed.

    He called himself “dome daddy”.

    That is the best possible ending of that headline, and there weren’t many good options.

    Pennsylvania totally isn’t haunted, tho, they say. Sure it isn’t.

      As someone who lives in PA, I can confirm that this state totally isn’t haunted at all and my family and I have never lived in haunted houses or have had crazy unexplainable experience. No sir.

    It’s weird for sure, but a $1mil bail is insane for what boils down to theft.

    I don’t mean to sound callous to the families of the deceased, but it is what it is.

    Maybe I’m a bit fucked up though because I was trying to think how I would feel if he had stolen my dad’s remains, and I’ve decided it would have been comical. I suspect my dad would have thought that too. I don’t visit his grave site either so maybe I can’t comprehend it. I just don’t believe he is in a box in bones, ya know?

      there’s a black market for human skulls and skeletons that mostly caters to racists who still believe in phrenology

        It could be worse. He could have been collecting Funko Pops.
