My Baby Mummy

An example of why it is unwise to ignore the smaller, even unheard-of newspapers:

Click2Houston, where local news comes first, has reported that police have confiscated an heirloom from a New Hampshire family.

The mummified baby, pictured here, is said to be about 90 years old.

Notice how the handler in the photo is careful to support the infant's head.

Charles Peavey, the current babysitter, said the adorable scamp has been passed down in his family for generations.

Although that thing is creepy as hell, I don't see why anyone has the right to take it for forensic testing. I think I've heard that police are always called when human remains are discovered, but is all the research really necessary?

"We have concluded that this is, in fact, a baby."

Thanks, science.

Supposing that we're looking for some murder suspect, if the victim is as old as they say, by now the killer is a mummy as well.

But really, that little cutie doesn't look a day over 75 to me.
