    It contains the things butchers throw away.  Bones, bone-dust, the
    fat they don't put in hamburger, stuff like that.  Once it leaves the
    sanitary conditions of a butcher shop, it is no longer fit for humans
    to eat according to the FDA inspectors.  That's just what I threw in
    there, others may have put other things in.

I, and others, watched from the Addison-Wesley building off 128 after such
a truck rolled over dumping its meat -- bit chunks.  Cars in the north
lane were skidding all over the place, playing bumper car.  The police had
one hulluva time clearing the dead and live meat, as well as the cars.

That, however, didn't match the tank going south in the north bound lane!
Its driver may have ended up as meat chunks too.  -- M'lee

years ago, there was a story about a big accident on the southern
portion of the dc beltway.

the dc beltway, for those of you who know not, has a big drawbridge at
the south potomac river crossing.  it's lifted in the wee hours to let
big cargo vessels through.

so along comes a tractor trailer, the driver of which isn't too with
it, and might have been drinking.  he ignores all the signs that say
'bridge up.'  other drivers of tractor-trailers waiting for the bridge
to come back into commission start frantically radioing the guy to
slow down.  he finally notices that the bridge is up in time to
dump the truck on its side stopping.

the truck was full of eggs.

as sun rose over one of the busiest commuter roads in the world, it
fries thousands of eggs over easy on the pavement.
