Damn you Hannibal Lecter !!!!!!!
Museum finds astronomer Galileo's lost body parts!
The parts were taken from Galileo when he was reburied in 1737
Two fingers and a tooth belonging to famed astronomer Galileo Galilei have been found more than 100 years after going missing, a museum in Italy says.
A collector bought the items, lost since 1905, at auction and gave them to Florence's History of Science Museum.
The museum said it had no doubt about the authenticity of the items.
Scientists cut the parts - plus another finger and a vertebrae - from Galileo's body in 1737, almost 100 years after he died.
Galileo, who lived from 1564 to 1642, was a hugely influential physicist and astronomer who helped develop the telescope.
He was branded a heretic by Italian authorities for supporting Copernicus's discovery that the Earth rotated around the Sun.
This is Galileo's middle finger, kept in a museum since its 1737 removal
The body parts were removed from him 95 years after his death, when Church authorities decreed he could be reburied in consecrated ground.
One finger and the vertebrae have been conserved in museums since then, but the other parts were passed between collectors until they went missing in 1905.
The museum said that the discovery meant that everything taken from Galileo's body was now back "in responsible hands".
"On the basis of considerable historical do entation, there are no doubts about the authenticity of the items," it said in a statement.
The items will go on display at the museum in 2010, once renovation work is completed.

Whoever stole Galileo's vertebrae, was pretty spineless!
This thread has a potential to backfire against Galileo.

The recent discovery of Galileo's middle finger, chopped rudely from his corpse in 1737 and presumed lost since 1905, raises a thorny question: What should be done with the historic digit? Some say rebury it; some say put it in a museum. But I think that if Galileo were alive today, he would want to give it to the National Ins ute of Standards and Technology (NIST) -- by flipping it to them in the form of the digitus impudicus.
NIST hasn't declared that the Sun revolves around the earth (not yet, anyway). But the NIST report on the Twin Towers, and the even more ludicrous one on World Trade Center Building 7, may be the most egregious examples of scientific fraud in history, dwarfing such cases as the phony stem cell research of a guy named Suk and his more than 15 accomplices. (If you think Suk's research sucks, wait till you see NIST's!)
Galileo was endlessly annoyed by opponents who fallaciously argued from authority, refusing even to look through his telescope, while denying the existence of the moons of Jupiter. Likewise, NIST's case rests on authority ("would our leaders deceive us? we're scientists, believe us!") and the refusal to look at any of the overwhelming evidence for controlled demolition, including molten metal, unexploded nanothermite in the WTC dust, explosive ejections of multi-ton steel beams, and much more.
One-upping Galileo's opponents, NIST even had the gall to claim that it had found no evidence for controlled demolition because -- it later admitted -- it didn't look for it! The only conceivable response to that argument is to give NIST Galileo's middle finger. Help give NIST the finger -- sign the pe ion!
