'I put my finger in', Lee Spievak says, pointing towards the propeller of a model airplane, 'and that's when I sliced my finger off. It took the end right off, down to the bone, about half an inch. We don't know where the piece went.'Doctors said he'd lost it for good. Today though, you wouldn't know it. Mr Spievak, who is 69 years old, shows off his finger, and it's all there, tissue, nerves, nail, skin, even his finger print. How? Well that's the truly remarkable part. It wasn't a transplant. Mr Spievak re-grew his finger tip. He used a powder - or pixie dust as he refers to it.
