Not just from the ceiling. It was coming down on the ceiling fan which was slinging it all over the place.
Stuff of nightmares. Sometimes you are just glad this didn't happen to you.

Cardenas says she woke up around 4 a.m. to the sound of something dripping. When she got up to see what the noise was, she said what she thought was rain was actually blood splattered across the walls, her bed and her body.
Cardenas had slept with the ceiling fan on and the blood seeped right where the fan was which caused the blood to travel towards the blades of the fan causing the splatter on her bedroom walls.
After calling 911, the blood, which covered parts of her bed, walls, furniture and even her hair, was coming from her upstairs neighbor. Cardenas said it was a man aged between 55-70 who died.
“The firefighters knocked down his door and the body was laying exactly where my fan is underneath. He had carpet but the blood seeped through to my ceiling,” Cardenas said.
Cardenas said police determined her neighbor died from natural cause and was decomposing for about five to six days.
Another benefit of home ownership.
Not much to the story, but this was something unusual. Weird things happen sometimes.

Ick. Decomposing for a week.
Here's another one to ruin your breakfast. Long-dead beached whale. Man starts cutting into it. Whale bursts open. Need I give a formal warning?

Getting rid of beached whales seems to be a problem. There's a video of them trying to blow one apart with 'splosives. Parts coming back down damaged cars in the parking lot and made a general mess. And they still had enough intact whale that they had to bulldoze a hole next to it, push the remaining remains in, bury it, and close off that part of the beach for a long time.
I woke up to six inches of sewage in my basement bedroom once. They were doing some digging on Colfax Avenue and punctured a sewer line. They had an insurance guy come around making offers for your damages and aggravation. Ruined a good pair of Tony Lama boots and about a week's worth of life in cleaning and reorganizing and whatnot. I got a nice chunk of change out of the insurors, but never enough to make up for the hassle.
The ruined pair of Tony Lamas seemed to touch the steel-hard heart of the adjuster the most.

Ah, yes. Paul Linnman's best story from his time as a reporter with KATU 2 in Portland, OR. A beached whale in Florence, Oregon.
Linnman has been KATU's evening news anchorman almost forever it seems.
Newly remastered video celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 'splody whale.

Last park I worked at we had a small whale beach itself beside the fishing pier and die then it started decomposing. The smell was indescribably horrific.

Dave Barry does a great bit about the Oregon whale.

You can imagine what whaling ships smelled like
