When A Pig Gives Us the Finger, We Pay Attention

From the Yikes This Could Change Our Perception About Everything department comes an article from science writer Michael Rosenwald: "A Doctor, a Pig, and a Magical Pixie Dust That Could Regrow Fingers" (Esquire, September 18, 2007). If the report wasn't from a reputable writer, printed in a reputable source, we'd dismiss this as tabloid nonsense. Regrow a finger. Yeah, sure. But read the article and see for yourself. The before and after pictures on page 2 are vivid, to say the least.

We'll be keeping our nose to this story. If any of you run across any follow-up to this one, we'd love to hear from you! Email us at sueandpam@andnowforthegoodnews.com.
