This is True

Part and Parcel

British sculptor Anthony-Noel Kelly says he “was a little naive and I don’t think I would do it again, but I don’t regret it.” Regret what? He was convicted of stealing body parts — to make molds so that his sculptures would be more realistic — and sentenced to nine months in jail. He paid a laboratory assistant to steal the parts for him, then took them home on the back of his motorbike. “They were wrapped up in black bags,” he said. “Every now and again there would be a part of a limb or a torso.” But, he added, “There was nothing strange... about it.” (Reuters) ...That’s obviously a matter of opinion.
