Default Mummy Baby (w/pic)

I bet Thanksgiving dinner at this family's house is more fun than a barrel full of monkeys.


http://www.wmur.com/news/14157668/detail.html

Probate Judge Richard Hampe said the mummified baby known as "Baby John" passed down for generations through Charles Peavey's family must be buried because there is no DNA evidence proving kinship.

Until police confiscated Baby John last year, the mummy had been on display on a bureau in Peavey's home. Relatives and friends treated the desiccated infant as a family member, giving it cards during holidays and even a dried fish as a pet. Authorities learned of the mummy's existence after Peavey's niece mentioned to day care staffers that her uncle kept a dead baby at his house.

"It's one of the few things from our family past that we have left," Peavey had written in a petition to the court. "And when I pass on, I was looking forward to passing it on to another family member, to keep some of the history for future family members."

God, that is soo messed up. The prosecutors name is Richard Head. I had to stop there, that's just too much weirdness.

This is why I keep my mummified family members far away from prying eyes.

Mummy baby had a dried fish as a pet? WTF! Did the fish have a mummified pet? Or was the freaky mummified creature pet-owning kept to a minimum?

I think because there was a hudge thread last week in BBV about another 140 year old crunchy mummified baby.
