No soup for you.

Heinz is considering legal action after a woman claimed she found a dead mouse inside a can of soup.
Therese Oulad, 49, claims the mouse was floating on top of her Cream of Tomato soup.
She told the Sun: "I almost threw up - it was horrific. I thought I was hallucinating when I saw this black creature standing up in my lunch."
The tin of soup was bought for her by a friend from a Safeway near her home in Northolt, West London.
But Heinz spokesman Michael Mullen said: "This is a completely unsubstantiated allegation and we are shocked that such a story was published without any investigation or validation by a government authority.
"If as expected the mouse was placed in the soup outside of Heinz's control, we will review our legal options."
Mr Mullen added: "It's virtually impossible for this incident to have occurred."
All soup cans were upside-down during processing and compressed air was blown in to clear any debris. The soup was sieved and the can immediately sealed.
He added: "We are confident once the product is examined it will turn out the animal was not present during processing."
Its Bush's fault. If he would just include France in plans for America's security, no one would club baby seals..
No soup for you.
Terezzzze's stock plummets due to rodent's soup rampage!
Licorice: "It was me. My master, the husband of the Widow Heinz,
put me in the can so he could rescue me later.
But there was a mixup, and off I went.".
Are they sure it wasn't a hamster? Where's JF'inK when he's needed?
I'm thinking Elsinore Beer here, eh? (Strange Brew and the MacKenzie Bros)
What made her hold back??
I usually like to look in the foreign foods section of a local grocery store..
I think I'll skip over the Heinz products from England for a while.
Similar arguments would probably apply to this situation, also.

Are you bringing reality into an thread based on an Ananova article?
Attacks on Kerry and those connected with him are funded by the Republicans.
The following article, which is posted on FreeRepublic, comes from Annenberg Political Fact Check.

Republican-funded Group Attacks Kerry's War Record
Ad features vets who claim Kerry "lied" to get Vietnam medals. But one accuser quickly recants, and other witnesses disagree.A group funded by the biggest Republican campaign donor in Texas began running an attack ad Aug. 5 in which former Swift Boat veterans claim Kerry lied to get one of his two decorations for bravery and two of his three purple hearts. However, one of the veterans who appears in the ad has already recanted his principal accusation against Kerry, in an interview with the Boston Globe
there goes the lawsuit, no way the "creature" would survive enough to be "standing" after being in a sealed can of soup.

Why not absolutely impossible?
Most of these incidents are simply big bucks extortion efforts by the ususal suspects: John Edwards lawyers and their equally sociopathic clients.
Talking to the sun?
She is hallucinating.
