Random Ridiculousness: Broke Azz Indianapolis Man Steals Brains From Mental Patients To Sell On eBay!

People just don’t give a phuck. Man Steals Brains And Sells Them On eBay According to Indy Star: The details sound like the plot of a bad horror movie: Desperate for cash, a young man breaks into a warehouse to steal the brains of dead mental patients, and the body parts are later sold on eBay. This story line, however, is real. Authorities say David Charles, a 21-year-old Indianapolis resident, is accused of breaking into the Indiana Medical History Museum multiple times this year and stealing jars of human brain tissue and other preserved material. A tipster who paid hundreds of dollars on the online auction site helped bring the organ entrepreneurism to an end. The museum, 3045 W. Vermont St., is the site of the former Central State Hospital, which served patients with psychiatric and mental disorders from 1848 to 1994. Indianapolis police had investigated several break-ins at the museum’s storage facility before a California phone call led police to Charles. A San Diego man who had bought six jars of human brain tissue off eBay for $600, plus $70 shipping, called the museum after noticing labels on the containers and suspecting some kind of skulduggery, according to court documents. Detectives with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department used that tip to trace the transactions, eventually speaking to the eBay seller who provided the brain tissue to the San Diego man. That seller had obtained the brain matter from Charles, police said. Police set up a sting on Dec. 16. The eBay middleman arranged a meeting in the parking lot of a Southside Dairy Queen with Charles, who the day before stole 60 jars of human tissue from the museum, according to authorities and court documents. Charles faces charges of theft, sticky icky possession and paraphernalia possession, according to court documents. Investigators also are looking into the possibility of additional charges, said A.J. Deer, a spokesman for the Marion County prosecutor’s office. Is this what society is coming to when times are hard? Damn shame. Shutterstock

Lindsay Lohan Gets Paid Very Little Cash

Lindsay Lohan is a bit of a mess these days. That’s a point even Michael Lohan will agree with us on, even if we disagree with that nut job’s methods of reaching out to his troubled daughter. So disturbed is Lindsay that she can’t find consistent work in film anymore and has had to resort to making a living off of personal appearances. Which is all good if you’re Kim Kardashian and commanding more than your own TV show is willing to pay you. But Lohan is no Kim Kardashian . Wow, how sad is that statement? Not as sad as the fact that even clubs think she’s so much of a liability that they would rather shell out the big bucks for Heidi Montag or even Snooki. Linds, you spilled a kilo in your shoes. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] A source says that “When Lindsay does get paid for attending events, she now gets less than Snooki makes. It is sad and it is only getting worse.” “The few people that care about Lindsay want her to get help, but she is scared to trust, thanks to her father, and she doesn’t want to hear this.” “We are worried for Lindsay and where her life is going. She will open up to assistants that are dropping something off or helping her for an event.” “She needs good friends and she has none. Lindsay is in crisis. Lindsay is really going through a lot right now. She feels like everyone leaves her.” “If she does get work, which is rare, someone has to basically be by her side to get her ready for the event or meeting and make sure she shows.” Very reliable sources also reveal that you can get LiLo to show up for an event in Los Angeles for $2,500 these days – 2-4 times less than Snooki . What’s more, the transactions are supposedly done through Lohan’s assistant and she gets paid in cash . Convenient for her white powder habits.
