Man Sues Chicago Seafood Restaurant for Giving Him 9-Foot Tapeworm

CHICAGO — A man who contends he got a 9-foot tapeworm after eating undercooked fish is suing a Chicago restaurant.

In a lawsuit filed Monday, Anthony Franz says he ordered salmon salad for lunch from Shaw’s Crab House in 2006 and fell violently ill. He later passed the giant parasite, which a pathologist determined came from undercooked fish, such as salmon.

Franz’s lawsuit seeks $100,000 from Shaw’s and its parent company, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises.

Franz claims the restaurant’s staff was negligent in serving him improperly cooked fish.

But Carrol Symank, president of food safety for Lettuce Entertain You, says the tapeworm didn’t come from Shaw’s Crab House.

“We have done a thorough investigation and we’re confident the restaurant is not the source,” he said.

According to the Web site mayoclinic.com, tapeworms can measure up to 50 feet long.

Now I don’t know about you, but the thought of “passing” anything 9 feet long is a little upsetting.

If you are a fan of Pink Floyd, you need to check this cd out.  Luther Wright and the Wrongs have taken Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”, and rebuilt it from the ground up.  Only, they have infused their old-time country/folk sound into it.  They do a great job on each song, making each one sound as if you need to be having a hoedown while listening to it.  There is plenty of slide-guitar, violin, and of course, banjo all throughout the album.

I want to also note that this cd is just as complex as Pink Floyd’s version.  There are little background noises/sound effects/dialog, only they are crafted for the musical style of the CD.

Head to Amazon and listen to some samples.  These guys have made a GREAT cover of an amazing piece of art.
