    A great example of how the 'pack' can be led to believe things and start 'seeing' things that aren't there - didn't someone say they could see skin? My oh my.

    Anyway, I thought the 'foot' looked a bit strange, far too big! But good post though, I enjoyed reading it. :D

    Well, it is pretty realistic, and I carefully covered the bits that didn't look great (e.g. missing big toe & some of the "bone" is distinctly yellow). As for "skin", well that's there too:

    From the posts I saw before the original thread was closed, only Lotus Eater had questioned its authenticity. Not one of my mates, even those who came and had a look, raised any doubts.
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Yes, it really was. I was genuinely quite stunned.

    It's nice that people can see the funny side, and I can fully see the point of view of anyone that can't.

    It is certainly realistic, but I just think it shows a side to people that jump in and proclaim to 'see' skin etc, when really, it could be anything (as we have found out). Different personalities I guess. I watched the thread with interest, but decided to hang back and watch it unfold before making any claims ;)
