ETYM scandal update. Borofergie found in Cornish Pasty ?

The macabre ETYM story took a new turn today when Chief Inspector Fred Knacker received a telephone call from Professor Henry W Spigot, Chief Trading Standards Officer for the West Midlands. Spigot had received a half eaten Cornish pasty together with what was first thought to be common wood screw. The pasty had been purchased in the Nags Head pub in Birmingham by 83 year old retired miner Cole Scuttle."At first I thought I had bit into a meat bone" said Cole "but when I looked closer it was a bloody wood screw" Cole handed in the pasty and screw to his local trading standards office, who forwarded it on to Spigot. Spigot analysed the screw, and after intensive tests and inquires, tracked the screw down to orthopaedic Surgeon  Helmet Horsze in Germany. Horsze confirmed, he had operated on Borofergie before Christmas, for a broken shoulder, but stated the titanium screws are used in many operations. Meanwhile DNA tests are being carried out on the pasty. The lowcarb world can only wait and pray, that one of lowcarbs and palio’s brightest lights, has not gone out.
