Be careful what you’re drinking…
Hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported.
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.
Yikes! Apparently, the guy had died, and his wife shipped him back from Jamaica 20 years earlier to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.
UPDATE: It seems Reuters has retracted the story…
You, and a number of "official" news outlets have been had.
This is a classic urban legend that surfaces every few years and gets passed around as news. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/cannibal/tapping.asp
Well, if you can’t trust Reuters…
