Prop takes off finger tip, but grows back
« on: May 01, 2008, 07:43:23 AM »
Interesting report about a new biologic material that can grow back parts of a finger. Maybe some of you know this fellow in Cincinnati that lost his finger tip to a prop, but using the biologic "pixie dust", it grew back. Wonder if Brodak will carry this "pixie dust" in the future?

You know how those medical guys are, always looking for the next big gimmick to make a buck. I would say it going to cost and arm and a leg for that dust.

A good "chicken stick" will never require stitches.  Stick it in a prop and you might have to replace both prop and chicken stick, but that's much better than a trip to the ER.
