    I'm missing part of a fingertip. I'd like to try this "pixie dust."

    I work with a guy missing an entire finger, but since this material can't grow bone, I guess he's SOL.

    I vote we take a liberal- Nancy Pelosi would work fine- amputate her arm, and see if this stuff allows it to grow back.

    It's for the children, you see! :techman:

    Fingertips HAVE regenerated in the past, but that's generally in people under 25. That it happened to a man this old is quite remarkable.

    I cut off the tip of my thumb once.

    It sorta, kinda grew back/re-healed itself.

    Why did you have it cut off? Was it too long? Tired of kids calling you Mr. Spock? What
