News.

Even if infinity monkeys hammered on infinity typewriters for an infinite amount of time, the following collection of spaces and characters would never materialize because the monkey would somehow gain consciousness and throw the typewriter out the window. Former Miss Universe Australia Erin McNaught has partially severed her finger in a freak motorbike accident. It's true people, you can't make this stuff up!

The injury was sustained while filming a segment for techy TV show CyberShack. According to reports, McNaught fell off an electronic dirt bike, jammed her hand and partially tore off the index finger on her right hand. She was then rushed to hospital where she underwent microsurgery. Speaking with The Daily Telegraph McNaught's spokeswoman Kathy Ward said the following: "She is having a major operation to reattach the finger, reconnect nerves and blood vessels in the finger that were severed in the accident."

That truly, truly sucks. Freak motorbike accidents are right up there with being told you're adopted in terms of things that are both painful and surprising. We wish Erin a speedy recovery.

This really upset me when I first heard the news of her accidnet! What a terrible thing to happen and I wish her a full and speedy recovery. What horrified me more was to hear some people making jokes at her expense and trivialising the injuries. I have read some of comments on other websites and can't imagine how anyone can be so cruel and heartless with some of the nasty comments they were making. If they were for real then they ought to be ashamed of themselves but if joking, then it was sick and doubly heartless.
I hope she has a lot of support as she will need it and perhaps a lot of patience for the injury to heal.
All the best Erin.
