Utility company Thames Water said it removed what it's calling the biggest "fatberg" ever recorded in Britain — a 15-ton blob of congealed fat and baby wipes the size of a bus lodged in a sewer drain.

Thames Water said the mound of "wrongly flushed festering food fat mixed with wet wipes" was found under a road in the London suburb of Kingston.

Last week, an unlucky team of staff had to descend into the fetid tunnel and "blast" the lard and wipes out of the tunnel with high-powered water jets, Thames Water told CBSNews.com. Some larger chunks were removed for processing at sewage treatment plants.

Time to fess up -- who else saw the thread title, and thought about something along the lines of David "Fatberg" Newman?

Had read about this online here before so was not mislead, but had to snicker at the headline anyhow.

Over in Austria there is a media "artist" who goes by the name of "Hermes Fettberg". He is as his name suggests, it seems, so one might start wondering what moving him was all about ...
