What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHeidi Klum turned up to her Halloween party in New York dressed as a giant severed hand, the BBC reports.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA severed hand. At a party. With canapés.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a re-creation of her own left hand, with long red nails, a thumb ring, and her engagement ring and wedding band.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHer actual wedding ring, on a prop that is, by design, detached from the person. I'd have questions at the insurance stage.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorShe says it took five to six hours to get into the costume.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSix hours. So the party was the short part.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorShe also said, quote, hands down, the hardest thing is carrying it. It's quite heavy.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHands down. She said that with a straight face, in a hand costume. I'd like the writers' names.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe reveal video was captioned talk to the hand. She's been a worm, a peacock and Medusa. This is her twenty-fifth party.

  10. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSix hours inside it, carrying it all night, and not one handshake.
