A couple of months of maceration and they can have a nifty skeleton for the lobby.

Well if this didn't tip them off, then I don't know what would.

Instant soup stock. Just add noodles.

That's so damn gross...

Mmm, taste like dead guy... blllarf.

that's so foul....

Run it through a few filters and it tastes like top-shelf dead guy.

Wasn't this a CSI episode?

Not cool when your tapwater has a head

And the bottles of corpse water appear on eBay in 5... 4 ... 3... 2 ...

Should have used NIKKEN.

Yum!

I think it also happened in Law and Order: CI.

Let me just say...


EWWwwwwwwuuURRrrrrRGHAAAaaaAAUGH!!!

I think this was on CSI too.

Damn, this water's got a little wang to it.

Prosecutors will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

This featured in an episode of CSI:NY, as previously supposed.

Its actually very common to find dead squirrels, raccoons, possums, and seagulls in water towers.

Im not sure about 27-year old crackheads, though.

This Water has a fine bouquet, hints of oak and is full bodied.

Where the heck are YOU? Around here, you'd have a BIG issue if you found any of that in there - everything here has nice screens over the air vents, and altitude valves are rather common anyway.

Most water utilities here are bonkers about testing the water for anything, esp after it's gone to system.

Heh, we had a boil water order after they found that body in the clearwell at that plnt in NJ. I don't think they solved that either...

Dinty Moore's Law: Damn, this water's got a little wang to it.

Good though. Mind if I have more?

A couple of weeks ago they had shut down a section of the San Diego water supply because they found E-Coli in it. People were eating at resturants that 5 minutes later were shut down.

Don't you think the "sick" tag might have been more appropriate?

If I lived in that building I'd be drinking AND bathing in bottled water for the rest of my life.

Around here it's more likely you'll find barium and other assorted nuclear residue in the water.

What drugs was the guy on? Maybe they can at least get a contact high.

I believe that the water tower in this case was a private one on top of a taller building. They are used in order to add water pressure to buildings in urban area which might be above the level of the water towers operated by water treatment officials. Therefore this type of water tower is likely to be less often inspected, and not built to specifications you would have to meet for a large water tower in a public system. Besides, the tower on top of an apartment building would never be tested by officials, just like they probably don't come into your kitchen and test your water.

Yeah, and last year I got a letter in the mail from the city saying, basically: "Um, Oops. Last month there might have been some coliform bacteria in the water supply. Our bad"

/coliform = from the colon (== poop)

"And two dead pigeons in the water tank"

Yeah, Dark Water totally.

Don't forget the legend of Admiral Nelson. Legend carries that he was placed in a barrel of rum to preserve his body for the trip back to England after the Battle of fl_nelson

I don't like my rum with any less than a high-ranking pickled British hero in it. Don't try to fool me with your worms in the tequila bottle, either - I better find Poncho Villa's finger in there.

Dude. From your own link:

"The most famous instance of preservation by immersion in alcohol was the casking of the remains of Lord Nelson in the ship's brandy stores after his death during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. That much is true - Nelson was, in effect, pickled to get as much of him home in as
decent a state as possible. But not in rum, as would later be claimed in lore. No, Nelson had been immersed in brandy for shipment home. At Gibralter the fluid was replaced with wine."

Brandy (like Darknys said). Don't assume it false 'cause it's on Snopes, they clarify a lot of the true stuff as well.
