    In other news, a Michigan woman was arrested today after neighbors reported an unusual smell coming from her basement.

    No smell, unless you break the jar. A box of Dad's stuff from the '60's. He was a pathologist.

    Later, I found some matching pancreas.

    Now you're just goading me. BTW, should we turn this into a meta-thread, or did you want to keep the focus just on your esophageal discoveries?

    Not much black market value; they're what kilt him. The mystery is--why did Dad keep just this one person's innards, dated from the 1930's ?
