When my Dad was a student...He had a job sucking the lungs out of chicken carcasses. Not himself, obviously, he had a little vacuum gun thing. Apparently, after the chickens have been gutted, the lungs are more firmly attached to the ribcage than everything else, so they have to be removed separately. He never told me what happened if he left them in there...
