    NEW TWIST OVER FINGER

    The tale of the woman who found a finger in a bowl of chilli has just become more bizarre.

    Earlier this week, Anna Ayala withdrew her lawsuit against fast-food chain Wendy's after claiming she found a finger in her dinner as she ate at an outlet in San Jose, California.


    Now police have said that the offending digit could belong to a woman who was attacked by a leopard.

    Sandy Allman, 59, who kept a spotted leopard and other exotic animals, called police in San Jose claiming ownership of the now famous fingertip.

    She said she last saw it in a Las Vegas emergency room in February, packed in ice, after doctors told her the 1.5-inch piece of finger could not be reattached.

    Sergeant Nick Muyo, a San Jose Police Department spokesman, said: "She saw the finger on TV and recognised it as a piece she lost when she was bitten by a spotted leopard.

    "We and police in Nevada are investigating the tip to see whether there is any link between the women, but both claim not to know one another and no link between the incidents has been found thus far."

    "This is one of the most bizarre and intriguing cases I have ever seen."

    Both the women come from Nevada.

    Officials are carrying out DNA tests to try and establish who the finger belongs to.

    Wendy's has also been keen to find the owner and is offering a $50,000 reward for information.

    Ok, she files a lawsuit because there is a finger in her food. Seems perfectly fair to me, in this age of emotional damages.

    Then some woman, who couldnt possibly be connected to her because if she was why would she announce that it was her finger, says her puma bit it off. All of a sudden she drops the case.

    The fact is, there was a FINGER in her food.

    If ever evidence was needed, that americans are crazy/stupid, its this.
    Madness.
