I always dry out my monkey heads thoroughly before posting them.

The customs office is not sure which species the primate's severed head belongs to, but Meister said it was "definitely protected."

Really? And how exactly do you know that? Moran.

Is it legal providing the monkey head is less than 100mL and I carry it in a plastic bag?

I feel bad for the addressee who's going to get the fine. He probably didn't even know it was coming. The thing was probably sent as a big ol' "Fark You" to settle some old score.

"Last time we found a half-meter long crocodile skull that had been made into a lamp," Meister said. "
Sounds better than the Leg Lamp from Christmas Story.
Oddly enough, a google image search does not have a pic of one.

People, people, you can settle down. The monkey head was duty free. The maggots were rare and protected.

Well played in this "over in one" thread (Kudos Brap)

Mini threadjack here: According to Fark etiquette (as if), is it obstreperous to post pics? I mean, is Gorgor's way of doing things preferred by all, or would folks like to see images in threads?

If the pic is safe for work and lunch, and is not 10 times larger than it needs to be to make your point, and is not hotlinked from someone who will care, then I say go ahead.

Seems like an easy way those Nigerian princes could get back at scambaiters, among other possible uses.

Really? And how exactly do you know that? Moran.


Both the sender and the addressee of the package face legal action in the incident because primates are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.


Because it's a primate. Moran.

Because it is very very very obvious that it's a baboon (or I guess a really oddly decayed mandrill), which is a primate, and all primates are protected (or at least highly highly monitored) by CITES?


MidnightSkulker: Uh, I'm no primatologist, but that definitely looks like an olive baboon to me.


I am a primatologist, and it's too decayed to tell on the spot. Baboons aren't tremendously varied in their coloration, and there isn't much hair left on this critter to say for sure.
