Beware strange rum!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060504/...kxBHNlYwN0bQ--
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported. According to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in Szeged in the south of Hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out. The website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return. According to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home. The wife has since died and the man was buried in a proper grave.

Snopes doesn't assign a verdict on this one. They merely point out the similarites to previous instances of this tale being told.

I was able to put together an interesting timeline on this. 1. Article is posted on another forum that Jeeber frequents. 2. Jeeber posts article at FOFC. 3. FOFC user posts links to Snopes debunking said article. 4. Jebber posts link to Snopes on forum where he picked up the original story.

That'll teach me to steal threads before doing some proper research...
