Headline: "Hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel"

Today's favorite news story goes something like this:
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.
Eww. Talk about proper aging. (Or is that just for wine?)
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.
Which leaves us with just one question: If these workers were so hungry, why didn't they eat the guy, too?

The real question is, why are they pickling corpses in the first place?
