“A 13-year-old Brooklyn boy stunned his teacher yesterday when he brought preserved Siamese twin fetuses to school for a macabre show-and-tell session, officials said.

“The boy unveiled the mayonnaise jar containing the decades-old human fetuses — a bizarre family heirloom — around 2 p.m. during a science fair at Public School 36 in East New York,” the Daily News reports.

The boy had warned his teacher that he planned to bring in the fetuses but ignored instructions to leave it at home.

[…] After the boy pulled out the formaldehyde-filled jar, his teacher quickly stuffed it back into the student’s knapsack and called cops.

Catie Marshall, a Board of Education spokeswoman, said no other children saw the grotesque exhibit.

The boy told cops he borrowed the jar containing the fetuses — estimated at four to five months’ term –rom his mother’s boyfriend. The boyfriend said he inherited it from his grandmother after her death a decade ago.

Uh, sorry to interrupt, but how’d you’ve liked to be at that reading of the will? “To my granddaughter Alicia, I leave my fine china, the silver service set, and my 1982 Oldsmobile. And to my darling grandson Devlin, I leave a couple of well-pickled preemies, joined at the skull basin and wedged feet-first into a formaldehyde-filled mason jar…”

He said the grandmother told relatives she had kept the fetuses in a jar for decades. The relatives said they had no idea where the fetuses came from, the boyfriend said.

Police refused to touch the jar, which started leaking, and called officials from the medical examiner’s office.

Although cops are investigating, no charges were expected to be filed against the boy or his family.

Thank goodness for that. The minute we start making it a crime to bottle dead kids, the terrorists will have won…
