The Associated Press reports that a truck containing about 40 tons of cow intestines and bones recently dumped this mess all over a highway in Wisconsin. The driver was apparently fiddling with his "digital music player" and became distracted. No word on what you'd be doing with a truckload of cow intestines in the first place. If you've got any ideas, please share them.
If that's not enough gross meat news for you, then be sure to read this article from Rolling Stone. It's about the considerable environmental impact of pork production, specifically of pork production by the world's largest producer - Smithfield Foods. Not for the faint of stomach, friends.

This one's not about meat or gross animal bits or anything like that, but with a title like Mystery Fat, it seemed to fit in. That's the title of an AP article that comes to us by way of MSNBC.com.
