GROSS, REALLY GROSS
Found this in the Newspaper under a heading more stories you'll want to read. Personally I could do without this type story. So now I will also gross you out.
Man Buys Smoker, Finds Human Leg Inside
MAIDEN, N.C. — A man who bought a smoker Tuesday at an auction of abandoned items might have thought twice had he looked inside first.
Maiden police said the man opened up the smoker and saw what he thought was a piece of driftwood wrapped in paper. When he unwrapped it, he found a human leg, cut off 2 to 3 inches above the knee.
The smoker had been sold at an auction of items left behind at a storage facility, so investigators contacted the mother and son who had rented the space where the smoker was found.
The mother, Peg Steele, explained her son had his leg amputated after a plane crash and kept the leg following the surgery "for religious reasons" she doesn't know much about.
"The rest of the family was very much against it," Steele said.
Steele said her son, John Wood, plans to drive to Maiden, about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte, to reclaim his amputated leg, police said.

Now that is just....bizarre. Why would you keep an amputated leg? And then put it in a SMOKER????? Yikes.
That's strange. First of all, I didn't realize you had a choice in keeping anything from your body which was amputated, and secondly then sticking it in a smoker to preserve it? That's just plain weird.....
