Who would have thought it would be cheaper to ship rum overseas than a body? Evidently this was the case betwixt Jamaica and Hungary twenty years ago. The best part: evidently, corpse improves the flavor of rum.
Eh. Corpse shipped overseas in a booze barrel is nothing new. It's just that usually, it was to cover up a murder. :) The corpse improving the flavor of the booze is also new. Well, so far as I know. Tasty babies, sure, but tasty dead guy?
Snopes just posted something about this, here I can't read it because I'm at work (stupid work filter) so I have no idea if snopes says yea or nay on this.

Eew. Hopefully my nice mainstream rum was shipped in a corpse-free barrel. *eyes rum suspiciously*

I fear I'll always be suspicious of rum now...
