“Hey, this must be the head-quarters!”

There are just some things in life you’d pay anything to be able to see.

I once did an ODD story about a student who was hitchhiking home from college on a highway, late at night.  Six guys in a car stopped, knocked him down and raced off with his suitcase. It turned out he was a science student, and the case contained a six-foot live snake. The thought of those guys cracking the lid in the dark while going 70 miles an hour still cracks me up.

But I digress.  From Austria today, a wonderful story about burglars who broke into an apartment building, opened a chest, and found eight severed human heads. They opted for a speedy getaway, but a videotape of the moment of discovery would be priceless. Here’s the story:
