The preserved organs were found during an inspection of the foundation in the Gainesville house, which was previously owned by Ronald Baughman, a former University of Florida researcher, according to WCJB.

Some of the jars date back to the 1960s.

Investigators are looking into the possibility that Baughman, who published studies in the following two decades, may have brought the tongues home as part of his work, the news outlet reported.

This was a refrigerator in his lab and he was a hand surgeon. Even so, it gave me the creeps.

It's all your fault.

So the mohel is retiring and all during his career he kept the tips, tossing them into a cardboard box. He takes the box to a leather worker and tells him: "I have these from my office of forty years, please make something unique from them, something to remind me of my profession."
"Sure," says the craftsman, "come back in two weeks."

Two weeks later the leather worker hands the Mohol a wallet.
"A wallet?" He says, "I could have gotten a wallet at Macy's! What's so special?
"Sure, now its a wallet, rub it the right way and its a suitcase!"
