Pickled Foetus

In the spring of 1982, Jose Ramon Carillo, owner of a little grocery shop in Teacapan, Mexico, is rudely woken from his afternoon nap by a piercing scream. He is on his feet in a heartbeat, grabs his baseball bat and runs over to the back of the shop, where he finds Lucilla Maria Rodriguez, pale as a ghost and staring at the stacks of preserved foods. Following her gaze he finds himself looking at a jar containing a human foetus, neatly stacked in between the pickled vegetables.

PADERBORN, GERMANY - Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally let fly — and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop!

Castro Baseball

According to urban legend, Cuban leader Fidel Castro was once given a tryout by the Washington Senators baseball team. Snopes.com says its false, but look what I found while going through a bunch of old baseball cards!
