LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Authorities say something that looks like lungs have been found on a sidewalk in south Los Angeles County.

Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Dean tells the Los Angeles Times ( http://lat.ms/LkBEdZ ) that a citizen called Sunday evening to report organs on the sidewalk on Avalon Boulevard in an unincorporated area.

He says he doesn't know what they are but deputies turned them over to coroner's officials.

Coroner's spokesman Ed Winter says a doctor has not looked at what was found yet. He says an examination will be conducted Monday or Tuesday.

1. Well, that's certainly different.

6. Reminds me of a few years back...

...when there was a huge panic in Chicago over some unidentified green substance on a sidewalk.

It was guacamole.

13. So in other words

The panic was justified.

[Wait Wut]

15. I suppose so...

...if you're an avocado and one of your family members is missing. Otherwise, I totally understood Mayor Daley's complete "WTF" attitude about the whole thing. But, he would've had that same attitude if someone had found lungs on the sidewalk.

7. Someone's not breathing any easier today.

Owwwwwwww!!! Ok, sorry. RIP to the missing lung person.

8. I'm not even sure that I'd recognize a pile of tissue as being lungs if I found them

on a sidewalk

9. They could easily be animal lungs.

That seems to be the most likely explanation. I'm not sure why this merits an AP story before the object is even identified.

10. yeah, probably some prank...

14. Medical waste?

It washes up on the shores...why not sit on the sidewalk.

16. Messy zombies, eat the brains, toss perfectly edible lungs.

Sorry!

17. When my mon was a teen, a friend of hers found

a brown paper bag with a woman's severed breast in it. Never found out anything more about it.

18. The news sounds more and more like Zombies are among us

What with people eating people parts and organs sans bodies just lying around....

[pinboy3niner]

23. Dammit! As I clearly explained on the posters and flyers...

...it's Missing Liver! Missing Liver!

24. I thought the zombie thing was over.

[KamaAina]

25. One of the Devils must have barfed them up

[cthulu2016]

26. This is powerful evidence against the zombie apocalypse

I mean, how long would lungs just lay on the sidewalk in a zombie apocalypse scenario?

That would be ike a $100 bill sitting on the sidewalk in Times Square

28. No matter what they say,

it IS the zombie apocalypse.
