Finger meat

Another reason to go vegan (and no, it's not an urban legend, it's one of those "should be an urban legend but unfortunately is not"): http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/a/156338.htm

Not to avoid eating someone else's finger, but because working in the meat industry is one of the most dangerous jobs in America. I feel kind of sorry for the lady who found the finger (though it seems she should stop to consider what else is in that chili and whether it's any more appetizing than a human finger). Mostly, though, I feel sorry for the person whose finger was wrenched off by meat-packing equipment.
