Dead Things

A Turner man two years ago angrily wrote a national beer distributor to complain that he had found what appeared to be a shriveled rat body in a can of beer. With the letter, he sent along the can of brew and the offending matter for the distributor's inspection.

The beer company responded and assured the man that their lab had examined the body found in the beer very carefully. The beer drinker had not come in contact with a body of a rat, as it turned out -- in was, in fact, a premature human fetus.
