This will give hope to high school shop teachers everywhere!

I dunno, the bladder is pretty much the last place I would think to look for regenerative cellular material. Cool finding though! The other video of the guy preparing a bladder to make pixie dust was interesting.

Do we have someone in Cincinnati who could run him down and roll some prints?

Very cool. When you look at the tip of his finger you can definitely make out scarring along the ridges.

I briefly saw this guy on a news show on TV, but only caught part of it and cannot view the video...Can anyone give me a little more information. Specifically, on the part of the TV show I saw, it appeared he lost his finger at or below a knuckle, but he has a fingernail now....Did his fingernail and ridge detail also regenerate? Does anyone know if he had prints recorded previously? This totally facinates me!

Thanks for any extra information!
