Except apparently the custard finger is real. Or so says the article I was just coming here to post... [Grumble]

My second thought, after throwing up all the custard I had already eaten, would be: Thank heaven it was his finger.

Now, what really caught my attention was the custard article... What part of a custard dispencing machine is liable to take part of my finger off?

I mean the Arby's lettuce thing I could understand (well, except for the part about losing a small piece of your hand and not looking for it) since it involved sharp objects. Remind me to be careful around the next soft-serve ice cream machine I use.

Did they ever figure out where the Wendy's finger came from? I know the woman's claim was a hoax, but there was a finger and she just put it there, correct? (Don't I remember seeing pictures or perhaps hearing descriptions that prompted a picture in my head - something along the lines of "with polished fingernail intact"?) If so, the finger had to have come from somewhere; one does not normally find fingers lying about...
