I think the article is just trying to be sensational. So far they've found charred human remains and clothes, that's it.

Unless they start talking about scraping marks, forks embedded into the bone or doggy bags, I'm calling bullshit on the cannibalism angle.

It is possible. they did found his clothes and charred human remains. So we'll find out in a couple of weeks since they are testing those remains.

I see what NR is saying, though. If they were cannibals would they find a body, charred or otherwise? Or would they find a few bones with teeth marks on them? If they are cannibals they are very wasteful.

The main suspect is really indignant about the whole thing. When asked about the cannibalism, he threw up his arms in disgust. :awesome:

If only you guys spoke Finnish, I could tell you so many cannibal jokes...

I like Finnish, I find it a fascinating language... but there is no way in hell I can get cracking on a language that has next to no linguistic similarities without doing some sort of full-immersion.

And I don't think my wife would approve of me moving to Finland for a couple years.

As for this tourist, until we find him rolled in the Colonel's 11 secret herbs and spices, I'll be over here, holding m breath.
