Fridge burn?

[cjsmith]

Put a pound of ground beef in a self-defrost freezer and pretty soon it'll be brown around the edges.

Put it in the fridge and sooner or later you'll see a similar brown. I don't think my fridge crosses the freezing point, not since we lost an expensive bottle of insulin to that very thing and messed with the thermostat a tad. Is the blood simply draining out of the tissue? What's going on there?

Ah, but what color does the arterial spray on the ceiling turn after a few hours? Brown.

Well, that's true. I guess I don't know how long stuff like clotting agents last after a chunk of muscle goes through a grinder. I clearly don't read the right kind of novels.
