Cannibals Go on Spring Break, Too

Colleen Kane — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:00:00 GMT

Didja hear the one about the cannibals on spring break and the hijinks that ensued? The tale spread this month via email forward, earning its way to the urban legend site Snopes. (In other news, spurious stories are apparently still being passed along as email forwards, but fortunately not among people we know.)

This is actually a variation on a much-older (by Internet standards--2001) urban legend involving a girl whose bf worked in a morgue. Her bf was getting busy with the corpses, a fun factoid which was discovered when maggots appeared in a most delicate place on the unfortunate gf's body.

False, obviously.

So the tale has resurfaced this month with a spring break theme:

And the variations go on from there. Cannibals at spring break giving you sores and infections: dontcha hate when that happens?

Russian Recession Roast is One Piece of Meat We'll Not Eat

Two 19-year-old Russian men—Yuri Mozhnov, a florist, and Maxim Golovatskhikh, a street-market butcher and one-time psychiatric patient—were arrested after they enjoyed a simple pot roast of potatoes and 16-year-old girl.

The men are suspected of drowning the girl—an acquaintance—cutting her body up into pieces, roasting some of it (with potatoes!) and disposing of the rest around their city.

Parts of what police believe is the girl's body have been found scattered in plastic bags.

So why'd they do it?

"The arrestees said they ate the girl's body parts because they were hungry," said Sergei Kapitonov, a spokesman for the city's prosecutors.

Gay Cannibal Becomes Prison Chef

Emily Farris — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:38:00 GMT

Anthony Morely, a former Mr. Gay UK winner, was recently convicted of murdering and then eating parts of a magazine executive in the UK. And now, his friend said, he's been given the job of prison chef. A strange idea, until you consider that Morely had the wherewithal to properly season and sauté his victim.

Apparently, Morely slit the throat of Damian Oldfield before cutting off chunks of his body, seasoning them with herbs and frying them in olive oil.

While Morely is sentenced to the kitchen, he won't be allowed to use knives. Maybe he'll work the deep fryer?

"I reckon some of the other inmates might get a bit worried if they knew who was serving up their food but I'd eat it," Morely's friend Michael said. "Whatever he's done, Tony can cook. He's a brilliant chef. They obviously knew about his talent with food so they offered him the chance to work in the canteen... He was really angry that they weren't letting him use any knives. He asked me, 'How the hell am I supposed to do this without knives?'"

Well, we all know that those who can't do teach. So maybe he should spend his newfound free time writing a cannibal cookbook? Oh, sorry. Was that in poor taste? (Har, har.)
