Fat Chance


There is something to be said for keeping your body at a healthy weight. For one thing, you can run and play without getting tired. You can hide under chairs and couches if cats chase you. You don't have to shop in the puppy-plus size department. If your an adult and live in the Peruvian jungle, it might keep you from getting murdered-dead. Police say a gang in the Peruvian jungle have been killing people and draining fat from the dead bodies to sell on the black market for use in cosmetics. The gang may have been involved in dozens (maybe up to 60) killings this year. Two suspects were arrested carrying bottles of liquid fat. The fat is supposedly worth $60,000 a gallon. One of the suspects said that the gang has been killing people for 30 years and taking their fat. This story was on MSNBC. It sounds more like a Weekly World News story, I almost don't believe it.
