The Man Who Grew A Finger

Because computers are my hobby, I often say to myself that I love the 21st century. Now, the 20th century was fine too, when that was all we knew (remember playing Space Invaders on the Commodore PET, fellow Beaton siblings?), but nowadays Windows XP-era tech is the least I would accept. Turns out, though, the biggest deal in the 21st century isn't Moore's Law anymore -- it's pixie dust.

If you don't believe me, check out this link and remember, this kind of thing is just the beginning. Warning to the squeamish: video contains disturbing imagery of a missing finger. Thing is, it gets less missing as you go along, which is the astonishing part.
