my friend at school had his finger sliced off in year 7.. in a door!
yes, painful..
down to about the 2nd joint..
and it greb back completely by the start of year 9..
it's still a little 'deformed' and doesn't quite look right, but it grew back, all of its own accord! :S:S:S

the end of my middle finger was sliced off by my sister when i was 2, so i can't flip people off,

then when i was 15 the end did grow back a bit, then went purple filled with puss and fell off.. very peculiar satisfying feeling when it did though.

i hope you claimed compensation from her

It's not uncommon for children's fingertips to regrow, but not for adults.

I was impressed. Even the nail as well!

Remind me why my bacon sandwich doesnt taste as nice now?

could it be that you were so disgusted at the thought of purple puss, that you had to go vomit in the toilet, and when you got back your sandwich had gone cold.


as for the magic pixie dust, i wonder what other body parts can grow back? 'john wayne bobbit' comes to mind....
