When mailing body parts, just say they are 'medicine'

dexter011607.jpgEwww. Here's a little lunchtime story for all of you (if you really don't take gore well with food, either put down your lunch, or wait until you're through eating to read this):

On January 7, staff at a logistics company in Qingdao, in China's eastern Shandong province, found a human torso in a box seeping blood but marked as carrying medicine, the China Daily said.

Two days later, police in Beijing and Jiangyin, in eastern Jiangsu province, found a man's head and arms, it said.

And how does one sign a package full of bleeding body parts to be sent across the country? With the pseudonym "Song Deyuan" ("sent far away"), of course. Xinhua has more.

By the way, the first season of Dexter (pictured) is now available on DVD on the streets of Shanghai.
