Need to feel squeamish so you can get out of work? Want to gross out your co-workers so they'll leave you alone?

Try reading this story out loud.

The headline in The Indianapolis Star was intriguing, so I checked it out. Eww! I recovered quickly, but that did make my stomach turn a little.

Lovely, wasn't it? Glad I wasn't the only one who had a hard time with that one.

My father told me that grandpa use to eat scrambled eggs and brains for breakfast, or make headcheese when they butchered there own hogs.

We had a calf one year that's brains were outside of it's skull, you see allot of odd things when raising livestock. The oddest on was the calf that was inside out, it looked like someone cut him in half, his insides were sticking out of his stomach, and his legs were on his back.

Pigs can get a form of BSE or Mad Cow disease, they have TSE.

I love grossing out people with farm-related stories!

I don't quite understand, however, why air bursts are the best way to remove the brains. Seems there would be a better way of doing that. *shrugs*

I don't get it either, but then I don't kill pigs and remove their brains for a living. :)
