Hundreds of rat corpses - which had been smoked to improve their flavour
If you believe that then you also believe you seat cushion can be used as a flotation device.
BTW does anyone remember B. Kliban and his cat cartoons?
Love to eat them mousies,
mousies what I love to eat.
Bite they little heads off,
nibble on they tiny feet.
and
If I had two dead rats I'd give you one.

"The giant cane rats, which had been smoked prior to shipping, arrived in a shipment from Ghana and are considered a delicacy in the country."
So some people got high smoking rats and then put them in a crate they thought was an ashtray?
