A story on Slate begins:
"The first bottle--the one with the Inca Kola label still affixed--was filled with something thick and yellow-brown. The other bottle contained a dark fluid and some grainy bits. An evidence table had been carefully arranged for the cameras by the Peruvian National Police: The pair of one-liter soda bottles, a half-dozen small canisters, some coils of safety fuse, and a few sticks of dynamite--each labeled with display cards in block print. Gen. Eusebio Félix Murga, director of Peru's criminal investigations unit, balled his hand into a fist as he spoke to the gathered crowd. 'We have broken up a criminal gang,' he said, 'which traffics human fat.'"
A criminal gang that traffics human fat?
That's a new one...
