WEST CHESTER, Ohio — Authorities in Ohio say a store employee found the head of a lamb inside a microwave oven on display at an Ikea home furnishings showroom.

Police in the Cincinnati suburb of West Chester say they believe the discovery on Dec. 16 was the result of a prank. By the time officers arrived, store employees had already disposed of the head...

They say store surveillance video was not helpful.

Authorities note that several specialty food markets in the area sell lamb's heads.

Specialty food markets = Muslim bodegas. We have them here, too.

“I’m gettin’ mutton for Christmas...”

Leftover from “hit the head” Muslim game.

Was the world always this bizarre and just didn’t hear about it because of limited media...or is everyone slowly going crazy?

Pocketsized camcorders and easy websharing of prank videos encourages such antics.

There’s mutton to see here, so move along now. ;-)

Ikea knows nothing of design. I recall when the lambs tongue was a desirable design element.

[OB1kNOb]

Much to do about mutton.

It was just a couple muttonheads acting stupidly.

...of course, it could be something left over from the famous Ikea meatballs.

“Authorities note that several specialty food markets in the area sell lamb’s heads.”
Lamb’s heads= Caposella. Yum yum.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

That’s what I’m looking up now. Sure sounds like it.

Buying a lamb’s head, sneaking it into a store and putting it into a microwave doesn’t strike me as much of a prank. It sounds like something an islamist would do as a threat.

Nahhh...

It’s those pesky Amish kids.
