Pickled corpse tumbles out of rum barrel Thirsty Hungarians find surprising cause for drink’s ‘special taste’ MSNBC staff and news service reports Updated: 3:48 p.m. ET May 5, 2006 BUDAPEST, Hungary - 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 Web site 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. The Web site 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 Web site, 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. The Reuters news service was attempting to verify the truth of the tale. Similar urban legends have circulated for many, many years. Reuters contributed to this report. © 2006 MSNBC.com  |  IP: Logged Nick Scott Expert Film Handler Posts: 133 From: nsw austrailia Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-05-2006 07:12 PM                        Wouldn't you be feeling sick after that.  |  IP: Logged Edwin Schwing Expert Film Handler Posts: 116 From: Las Vegas NV Registered: May 2002 posted 05-06-2006 01:50 AM                     After drinking a whole barrel of rum, I think anyone would feel sick.  |  IP: Logged Dieter Depypere Master Film Handler Posts: 343 From: Deutsch-Wagram, Lower Austria, Austria Registered: May 2005 posted 05-06-2006 02:48 AM                     They never gonna drain another barrel of rum.
