@wellerstein "Natalie, surprised at the gift, named it Tojo. The armed forces disapprove of this sort of thing." Dude. -
@wellerstein My sweetheart NEVER sends me human skulls. Ahem,@shawsam. -
@LByock@wellerstein Columbus Day is right around the corner... -
@shawsam@LByock My favorite skull shop (everyone ought to have one): http://www.boneroom.com/store/c56/Normal_Human_Skulls.html … -
@wellerstein@shawsam@LByock Blast! No sale in Tennessee. I'll have to go Dr. Bass' body farm and pick my own. ;-)

@wellerstein – this is really intense. Her expression certainly doesn't look very happy, though. -
@jeffthompson_ I wonder what the letter said. "Dear X, thanks for the skull, please don't come back a psychopath..." -
@wellerstein – what else could it possibly say? -
@jeffthompson_ "Can you get me one with more teeth?"

@wellerstein It's awful. Just think your skull is someone's gift like that. Regardless of nationality, this action is very inhumane. Insane! -
@YuminTanaka The letters to the editor in the June 12, 1944 issue agreed:pic.twitter.com/AP3EidRROz

@wellerstein Yes. In 1944. My friend's father fought in Okinawa & said he hid a skull in his closet to scare my friend when he did bad.
