Philly is a scary place,full of scary people.

David Lynch, in an interview with a Philly publication, said that Philadelphia is the inspiration for his particular view of the world. He used to live somewhere around 11th and Callowhill. It is a creepy place that I call home.

More like Santaria. If there were chicken entrails nearby, we'd be on the case.

Does sound like someone's been doing some heavy scheduling of transplants at Penn, Temple, and/or Jefferson Med Centers - but one report said that in addition to the missing organs, the man's "rib cage" had also been removed - must be some exotic new experimental procedure.....

Updated on local news tonight - whoever did the organ removal, "knew what they were doing". Organs removed with the " skill and precision of a surgeon", or, a "mortician". Interesting scenarios......

Yup. Kinda reminds me of Frankenstein. Big market for fresh, human organs... both for good, and bad intentions.

There are also a number of medical schools in Philadelphia, Penn, Jefferson, Temple etc. Maybe a medical student needed some extra cash for tuition.....
