Reuters: “Hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel.”


BUDAPEST (Reuters) - 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.

Given that local homebrewers once concocted a version of “cock ale” (using macerated fowl, for those with naughty minds), a rum-based “cocktail” of similar design isn’t that surprising, is it?

Insert Hannibal the Cannibal joke here.

You did not see any bodies lying next to the tanks of Dead Guy Ale out at Rogue, did you?
