Greeks find human skulls in luggage of U.S. tourists

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greek police charged two U.S. tourists with desecrating the dead on Thursday after they found six human skulls in their hand luggage at Athens international airport, a police official said.

"The skulls were found in a scanner check during a stop-over in Athens on their way back to the United States," said a police official who requested anonymity. "The coroner confirmed they were human skulls."

The two young tourists said they had bought the skulls in a souvenir shop on the island of Mykonos and believed they were fake, the official said, adding they had been released pending trial.

Those two just weren't using their noggins.

I wonder if they truly bought them as souvenirs.

Makes you wonder, what type of shop carries human skulls? Where did they go on the island, the local voodoo practitioner? Did the place of sale even know they were real?
And what's the point of even selling fake skulls at some kind of tourist shop?

Strange.
Of course, they could have lied. But, most interesting.

Sounds like something you'd have go to Oklahoma City to buy.
