It did not surprise me really. What surprised me most was the turtle eggs :/

I'm not surprised that a woman reaching into her wood chipper for her kitty cat who jumped into it, would buy an arm on the Black Market. Never said it was a lady hand and arm that she got. How much time passed between the amputation and IF the attachment (crazy glue and duck tape I think) took well, if there was no infection and shes still alive and well..... maybe need to read the Inquirer more. :-)

The reality is, anyone can get on the internet, and say anything. It is a total urban legend. A.k.a. fake. I dont doubt that Rhett researched it, and reported it justly. I beleive him. I dont believe the Black Market is real, I mean seriously. 1.8 Billion people WORKING in the Black Market?.. come on. There are 7.5 Billion people alive in the entire world today. World. Meaning if that info was true, 1 out of 7 people work on the Black Market. You know that is not true. How many F.B. friends do you have, Family members, neighbours, well, every 7th one is working on the black market.... Girl, Please!.....

Yes, most of it is scams. You pay, the goods and/or services never materialise, you've just been suckered out of your money and the scammer is laughing all the way to the bitcoin exchange.

The black market exists, surely. Whether or not that many people are involved with it could be up for debate. They don't exactly fill out "illegal trade/black market salesperson" in their census reports or anything, haha.

Exactly, I dont doubt at all the research Rhett did. The facts are way off, and I dont doubt the Black market is very real. But seriously,.... buying a random arm because your an amputated. Medically does that make any bit of sense. Who was the doctor? Its a great fable, thats all I meant. ♡
