Are there laws against sending fecal matter to someone via fedex?

[daveymark]

Someone in Nigeria has offered to purchase my laptop, I was thinking of sending a "surprise"" along with pics of that rastafarian that was decapitated by the wrought iron fence.

And put a little note in there that says "look what happened to the last nigerian that tried to scam me"


Of course, the scammer only has my gmail address, I gave a fake name/address.

[MaxDSP]

it counts as a bio hazard or something doesn't it?

[pontifex]

i think its illegal. if not, it should be
i think that falls under hazardous material

[arcenite]

Haha as long as you wrap it in plastic so there is no chance of leakage out the box, i'm sure there would be no problem. Though I do believe you have problems :P

[intogamer]

Dangerous Goods? :D

[moshquerade]

poopy to go :thumbsup:

[Kelvrick]

Human waste is considered a biohazard isn't it? Like a leaking portapotty.

Otherwise, there might be something against organic matter.

Who cares if it's illegal.

Go to a fedex location further away from your area, send it with a random return address.

it's not like the nigerians are going to bring suit against you.

I just stated the address thing here because there's always some AT poster that thinks the nigerian will fly over here and try to find me. I figured I'd end that argument before it started.

[cerebusPu]

you can do it!!

[talyn00]

you're just wasting your money if you do send something. but if you do send it. make sure to hide it within alot of packing foam or whatever, so when they attempt to reach into the box to find it they'll get a nice surprise.

I strongly considered your idea in my second empty Xbox 360 box after this (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=38&threadid=1771165&enterthread=y) happened to me the other day.

I was going to try and give myself explosive diarrhea first. Reading an Aimster post or two should've done the trick.

They sent me a packing slip with their account. I told them the package weighed 36 pounds as well. I'm not paying to have it shpped

I believe that would fall under "hazardous material" and therefore might get you into deep sh!t (pun intended) if you sent it via mail and it was discovered in transit.

rofl. i cant believe someone made a business of sending sh!t to people. brilliant

[thehstrybean]

When I go to the UPS store, I always talk to the UPS guy, and once I asked him what the oddest thing was to ship. He said that someone came in and ordered a 6' box to ship himself him. He even climbed in! I looked at the sign, and animals and feces is illegal to send with UPS...FedEx might, though I doubt it...




Hell, do it anyways!

[daveymark]

it's interesting, that's for sure

From that site's FAQ:

Q: Isn't sending human feces to someone illegal?

A: Yes, unfortunately it is. That is why we don't recommend that you box up your own poop and ship it to someone. If you do, we cannot be held responsible. Instead, you're much better off sending a Fecalgram?, and you can do it right here at fecalgram.com, securely and anonymously!

Q: A Fecalgram is made of feces, right?

A: No, fecalgrams are not feces and do not contain anything that has passed through the digestive tract of any animal. They are completely non-toxic.

Barring cultural clothing and such, I don't think many people could tell a Rastafarian from a Nigerian. Isn't Rastafarian sort of a set of ideals and not really an ethnicity?

Wrong, I know 2 Ratafarians personally that were born in Nigeria. Regardless, this has nothing to do with the country of origin of the dead guy. Trust me, I'd put a picture of a dead hippie in there if I could find a pic gruesome enough. The wrought iron fence decapitation pic was the first one that came to mind.

I'm not going to do the fecal matter thing, I might send some rotten eggs with the pic.

My problem is scum Nigerian scammers need to be roasted over an open flame, then have their eyes pierced with needles before they are anally raped with a broomstick.

EDIT: and to prevent a culture war from starting in this thread, replace "rastafarian" with "black guy with dreads"

I hope that's PC enough, and that no one asks "Why he gotta be black?"

[LordSegan]

I have an IDEA. Have a Fecalgram sent to YOUR house. THEN, take the fecalgram, and send it to the Nigerians. LEGAL!
