Yup. [http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1000381.ece](http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1000381.ece) > [@](#): > > Grisly death at sausage factory > A 40-year-old man working at a sausage factory in Oslo fell into a meat grinding machine early Monday. Police say he was killed instantly. > > Emergency crews dealt with shocked workers at the Oslo sausage factory. > The grisly incident occurred around 5:30am. Police initially were reluctant to release the name of the sausage factory or its exact location before the man’s relatives could be notified. Crunchy-munchy! The sausage factory is _unnamed_ in the article. I guess the Lector Meatpacking Plant didn’t want the bad publicity. I’ll have…the bacon, instead, waitress. ---
