Man regrows finger with pig “pixie dust”: Junk science?

Lee Spievak, a 69-year-old Ohio hobby shop worker, has apparently regrown his finger—over just four months!—after slicing off the top half-inch in the propellor of a model airplane (doctors were unable to attach the severed bit, as Spievak couldn’t find it after the accident). The newly grown replacement, which sprouted from the stump, is perfectly formed, and contains tissue, nerves, nail, skin and even a fingerprint.
