According to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in Szeged in the south of Hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out. The website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return. According to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home. The wife has since died and the man was buried in a proper grave.
I like rum but not with dead bodies in it. Is that kinda like the worm at the bottom of a bottle of Mescal?
Did they decide they liked the "special taste" and take some bottles before or after they found the rasta man?
Whoa...I almost posted this as a new thread...silly me, thinking this would not have made the hangout. BTW...yeeech.
So, uhhh...Snopes has something to say about this. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/cannibal/tapping.asp
Yeah but it doesn't say if this is true or false and snopes has quite a bit of these (no answer). So what does that mean?
"Is that a hint of corpse I taste in the back of my mouth?" "hmm....mmm! why...why yes it is!" "How decadent!"
