It seems that the statement by Anna Ayala is a hoax. Further investigations have discovered that she did not find a severed finger in a bowl of chilli at a Wendy's restaurant.
Ayala recently submitted a complaint that she found a severed finger in her bowl of chilli. She stated that she vomited on the discovery but staff at the restaurant deny anyone having vomited at any time.
Now she is being charged with trying to 'fleece' the fast food chain. Apparantly, this is not the first time Ayala has tried to obtain money by false pretenses. She has previouly been charged with Grand Theft for allegedly falsely 'selling' her mobile home to a woman during 2002/2003 when she did not own a mobile home.
If convicted of this latest felony, Ayala could face more than six years in prison.

Whether we want to admit it or not, even now, in year 2012, there are still big gender biases in some fields of life. While it's generally understandable that men should do more heavy lifting than women and knitting fits a bit better for the women (even though I am aware even here there are many people who want to disagree), art is one of those things where our gender really should not play any significant role at all. And within the past decade things have started to change even on this front and even on the more conservative arenas such as Bukowskis - the top Nordic auction house.
