A Fighter's Heart is a book im reading and I came across a funny story I would like to share you all of you.

 

The book is written by Sam Sheridan.  And...is a great read.

 

If you are familiar with Rodrigo Nogueira, from the Ultimate Fighter show (as a coach) and recently fighting Frank Mir, you can put a face to a name.

 

When he was 16, on halloween he and his brother stole a university skeleton that had been placed on the lawn as a joke.  During the course of the night, the skeleton got lost, and neither brother could remember where.  When an irate professor called the next day, demanding the return of his skeleton and threatening police involvement, Rodrigo begged for a little time, as he and his brother had had enough problems with the police already.  At boarding school, Rodrigo had a maid whose boyfriend worked in a cemetary , and she said she could could get him a skeleton.

 

Well, from one of the caves of the anonymous dead she got him a partially decomposed body, maggots and all, and Rodrigo took the body back home ON THE BUS.  The smell was so horrible the bus had all the windows down, even though it was winter.  Somehow Rodrigo go t the body home without being detected.  From a doctor frient the brothers learned that they should leave the bones out, covered with chlorine, to bleach the skeleton; and so thinking they were finally in the clear, they placed the body on the roof of their family's house to bleach for a week while they returned to boarding school.  Unfortunately, across the street was a police station.  Curious about the decomposing body on the roof, the police stormed his father's house.  Rodrigo got a call from his father and had to explain everything.
