This is probably hanging on a wall about 100 metres from where I'm sat and the first time I see it is when someone from across a wide ocean posts it. Oh well.. Doesn't look like the sort of gig I'd remember though.
Man grows new fingertip on stomach
Doctors in China saved a man's partially-severed finger - by attaching it to his stomach.
Furniture worker Wang Yongjun, 20, cut off the end of his middle finger with an electric saw in an accident at work.
Wang, of Liaoyang, Liaoning Province, was rushed to hospital where doctors had to think fast.
Dr Huang Xuesong said the muscle and skin had been cut away from the end of his finger leaving only the bone showing.
"We had to make a quick decision or he could have lost his finger. We decided to cultivate a new fingertip on his stomach," he said.
Doctors operated and attached Wang's finger to his stomach in the hope that new skin and muscle would grow around it.

Driver dragged into 'black hole'
A Swiss motorist baffled police by driving her van straight down a five foot hole surrounded by crash barriers without another single vehicle on the road.
Driver Ingrid Schneider, from Herisau, told police she'd been concentrating so hard on avoiding the roadworks she found herself being drawn straight towards them.
"She said the more she thought about it the closer it seemed to be dragging her in, like some kind of black hole," explained one officer.
"There wasn't another car in sight, she didn't need to swerve, and wasn't distracted. She just drove right into the middle of it."
