Sorry, Valis, it said "page not found".............but I did see an article the other day about a woman who got a piece of someones thumb in her lunch.
A 22-year-old woman found the severed tip of a thumb in her lunch salad at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers.
Stark County Health Commissioner Bill Franks said a worker at the restaurant, in the Canton suburb Jackson Township about 70 miles south of Cleveland, was chopping lettuce Monday night when he cut off part of his left thumb, including part of the fingernail.

Low risk
"Given the state of the farm, and what we know about the investigation, we cannot rule out the possibility that cross-contamination may have occurred," British Columbia Health Officer Perry Kendall said in Victoria.
"Cross-contamination could mean that human remains did get into or contaminate some of the pork meat," Mr Kendall added.
"The risk to human health for those who consumed the products is extremely remote, based on the fact most pork products are typically well-cooked, which is known to effectively destroy most infectious agents," local health authorities said in a statement.
Officials also stressed that the farm's pig slaughtering operation was not officially licensed and Mr Pickton did not sell processed meat to retail outlets.
"There is no evidence we are dealing with anything other than a very specific localised issue, with a specific number of local people," said Catherine Galliford of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Instead, police said the meat was sold directly from the farm until it was shut down in 2002.
