Yes, it finally happened. Someone made a bid on a storage unit and found body parts.

Human brains, hearts and other parts found in Florida storage unit

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — A former medical examiner crudely preserved human brains, hearts and lungs in soda cups and plastic food containers found inside a storage unit in Florida, authorities said Tuesday.

A man bought the contents of a storage unit at auction last week in Pensacola and made the gruesome discovery after being overpowered by a strange smell while sifting through furniture and boxes.

Investigators found formaldehyde, a chemical used to embalm and preserve bodies, leaking from a 32-ounce drink cup with a cracked lid that was holding a heart, said Jeff Martin, director of the District 1 Medical Examiner's Office in Pensacola. The unit had been rented previously by Dr. Michael Berkland.

"How horrible it is for the families of these deceased to think that someone's loved one's organs are basically rotting away in a storage unit somewhere, it's horrible," Martin told The Associated Press.

but noooo, they had to be cheap and use soda cups.

4. "someone's loved one's organs are basically rotting away in a storage unit somewhere,"

sort of ironic isn't it? have you seen those mausoleum-type places lately?

5. We watch that show where they bid on storage units sometimes

And I always say to my husband, "I wonder if they'll find a dead body this time." I had to email this to him.

9. To be fair, he may have been goaded into doing it

In fact, it may be another unfortunate case of stochastic preservation...

11. That douchebag Berkland used to be an ME in my county....

...on a contract basis. We had this story in our local news a couple of days ago. He's a real wack-job mentally. Too weird!

12. You have to wonder how they hold onto these jobs for so long.

No, actually, I don't wonder. I have a pretty good idea.
