HOUSTON (Reuters) - Authorities in Texas have filed corpse-abuse charges against two men who allegedly removed a skull from a grave and used it as a bong.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office confirmed on Thursday that misdemeanor abuse of corpse charges have been filed in the case.
One of the men allegedly told police they dug up a grave in an abandoned cemetery in the woods, removed a head from a body and smoked marijuana using the skull as a bong.
Police found the cemetery and a grave that had been disturbed but are still investigating the rest of the story, officials said.

Man this story is just as lame as the story with the Lady and her 18 kids. I mean, I guess it's news, but what are you supposed to say that has any substance that isn't humorous? Maybe there should be a separate forum for Retarded News.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

It's already happened twicebefore that has been reported on this board alone. Skulls are common imagery in stoner culture, I can walk into a bargain store and find at least a dozen cheap bongs with ceramic skulls incorporated into their design in one way or another.
I fear this is not the last we've heard of this kind of criminal poor decision making from the stoner culture.

I thought we call it "Testing", but I could be wrong.
Well, the guys were definitely stoned out of somebody's skull. Better a dead someone's skull than their own. *badoom tish!*
Sig images are for people who aren't fucking lazy.
yawn, too many greatful dead posters, and to think I was creeped out by my ex-lab partner doing this when I was in College. (Though he did it back in High School, but STILL)
