...head. (Circumcised, since you asked.) Another man falls under a hunger spell while at a restaurant. He eats all his Mediterranean noodles, then the fingers of one customer and the face of another. Finally, he devours all the meat and flesh from his own left arm; the appendage's skeleton waves rakishly. At the film?s climax, the malefic priest responsible for all this mischief sets his sights on the last unviolated woman in Hong Kong, but he still needs a little erotic encouragement. ?Show me your bitchy look,? he commands...

The stories mix reality with nonsense, and humor with sadness. One episode has the bird-man followed around by a skeleton no one else can see.

Balancing on the leg bones, says expedition leader Richard Freund of the University of Hartford, was a pot in the style of the 1st century A.D., which places the find in the right era. "There are 1,212 burials at Qumran, but there's only one like this," says Freund. He thinks the bones belong to the Teacher...
