Isn't it against Islamic law for a male non-relative to give a human hand to a women he is not married to?

I guess his favorite store was out of burqas.

[llevrok]

I wonder who fingered the doc for the crime?

Hey, what can you say, he had a Thing for her...

Doctor gives New Jersey stripper a hand --literally

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A doctor pleaded guilty on Thursday to stealing a severed hand, which he gave to a stripper who displayed it in her New Jersey apartment.

Ahmed Rashed faces five years probation for stealing the hand in 2002 from a cadaver at a New Jersey medical school, an assistant prosecutor for Middlesex County said on Thursday.

Rashed practices medicine at a hospital in Los Angeles and stole the hand while studying in New Jersey, the prosecutor said.

The woman kept the hand in a jar of formaldehyde in her apartment where it was discovered by police during an unrelated investigation.

This Living Hand

 

This living hand, now warm and capable

Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold

And in the icy silence of the tomb,

So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights

That thou wouldst wish thine own heart dry of blood

So in my veins red life might stream again,

And thou be conscience-calmed—see here it is—

I hold it towards you.

That is so sick.

I do hope they are both under lock and key.

[Velveeta]

Well now, that is weird.
