at least I know what not to have for lunch today

SIX Romanians have been jailed for digging up the corpse of a cancer victim, ripping his heart out and eating it because they thought he was a vampire.

The men, who have each been sentenced to six months in jail, waited for seven weeks after the 76-year-old former schoolteacher died before exhuming the corpse and mutilating it.

After cutting the deceased’s heart out they burned it, mixed it with ash and water to make a "meaty drink". They told the court in the southern Romanian town of Craiova they all felt "much better" afterwards.

3. I'd be tender, I'd be gentle. And awfully sentimental. . .

regarding love and art. I'd be friends with the sparrows and the guy who shoots the arrows. . .

4. Remind me to never have cancer in Romania

I'd rather have heartburn in the Czech Republic instead.

5. If there were cancer cells in the man's heart, can they get cancer

from eating it? (I know this story is gross, but I couldn't help thinking of that.)

6. well

I've never heard of heart cancer. And no, I don't believe cancer is contagious that way.

7. Did They Serve Fava Beans
