BERLIN (Reuters) - A German motorway was flooded with 34,000 liters (9,000 U.S. gallons) of pig's blood on Wednesday after an accident that caused a 20 km (12 mile) tailback, police said.

A Dutch tanker spilled its bloody contents after colliding with a truck next to a slip road, police in the central town of Rotenburg said. Heavy rain obstructed the clean-up of the blood, which was on its way for disposal in Hamburg.

5. Like that Slayer album

The one that came with a packet of genuine pig's blood in every double-cd case that was recalled because it was leaking pig's blood all over record stores.

I'm just really surprised that this article didn't come from Matcom, who seems to dig up the most whacked-out news.
