Stinky Meat Experiment

I didn't know they tried again! I saw the first experiment a few years ago. Was gross then and is still gross now!

You tell her, Liz. Thats the kinda stuff you would expect me to post. I guess I'm rubbing off on her.

YES! SENSATIONAL!
That has to be one of the funniest things I have read in a long time!
That is my kind of sicko, warped humour!
I have tears running down my face and my sides hurt and I haven't even finished reading the first one yet.

Thankyou for this wonderful gift!

Dang Bea, you a smart, ol fart! I couldn't wait to just get outta high school.

I watched this - was kinda squeemish since hubby told me there was some pork chops infested with maggots on break.com that he wanted me to see.

The comments are hilarious - the fact that he has this stashed in his neighbors yard is hilarious

I can imagine the smell - had our garbage can over-run by maggots a few years ago - poor garbage men who had to take that !!! *vomit*

Guys...I gotta tell ya a quick story about stinky meat...

About 15 years ago, a crew of workers came through the neighborhood wanting to do some rock wall type work. We had them do a wall in both front & back. I'm thinking they might have been Samoan...but let's just generally say "polynesian". Nice group of about 8.

Becky (daughter) tells me that when she got home from school early one day...they were all gathered around a portable hibatchi type BBQ'r...cookin their lunch under the shade of my snowball tree! We laughed & didn't think much more about it.

THAT happened on a monday.
Garbage is picked up on fridays and we were going through a spat of 90 degree & higher temps.

Went to throw a bag of garbage away & take the cans down to the curb. There was something odd that I heard the closer I got to the cans. I'd never heard this noise before and on top of THAT...there was an odd sharp odor in the air.

I picked up the lid and screamed my fool head off! They had thrown what appeared to be chicken in my garbage. MAGGOTS WERE EVERYWHERE! There were sooooo many of them, they were writhing & crawling like jello & the noise they made, I won't forget for as long as I live. Maggots went flying cause I threw the lid...I ran around in my front yard like a hornets nest was after me...throwing myself on the grass cause I just knew some had got on me! Peeled my clothes off on my back deck & ran straight to the shower.

I refused to clean up the mess. Honey had to. (I seem to remember him buying gallons of bleach but got no clue as to what he did) To this day...I listen to see if the garbage talks before I lift the lid...

Can someone please confirm that maggots are actually fly larvae and laid there by a fly - hubby tells me they're from the meat itself, - I tell him to keep the darn lid on the can and nothing will get it - but he insists it's the meat itself that has these horrible things in there.

Lady B I feel for you but my "honey" aint as sweet as yours - the garbage men emptied out our can and some maggots got left in there (different time than my previous post) and I dumped out the can and left them to dry up in the sun then when I got home I swished bleach in there (our garbage can was in full sun then)

It also never fails, we always seem to have major meat garbage the day AFTER the garbage collection day!

I hear you on the sound - it's godawful! the smell is bad too! - I check the can's edge for movement before opening ours

Maggots are definitely fly larvae and just like rocks they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. You've got your Blow Fly larvae (which like fresh meat best), basic Black Fly (you have all seen them devouring Fido's leavings), Green Fly larvae, etc. Now Tweetiepy, depending on where your hubby shops for his meat, they could appear to be coming right out of the meat itself, but all it means is that some fly walked across that meat and laid her eggs before your hubby said, "Oh, that steak looks good and juicy."

Liz, I know that "Helen Keller" look. Hmmm...This is a question for Condor, I guess, but how would you punish a kid like Helen Keller? Put her in a room that had nothing in it except perfectly smooth walls? At least she could smell the maggots before she stumbled upon the rotting meat.

Maggots...some of the original recyclers and biodegraders. You gotta love Mother Nature in all her art forms.

Flies lay their eggs and maggots are the babies that hatch. Eventually, they turn into flies (like caterpillars and butterflies). It's a simplistic view, but I'm sure you get the idea. The maggots feed off of the meat. As gross as it is, it's all part of Mother Nature. When something dies in the wild, they help with decomposition.
