This is old news. It is from 2011 but just this weekend popped up on my Facebook feed. (That’s an Imponderable right there.)
To recap: Percy Foster, dwarf-porn lookalike of Chef Gordon Ramsay, died under what is being understated as “bizarre circumstances.” He was found partially eaten in a badger hole. Crack investigators have not ruled out suicide.
Okayyyyy.
Well.
All I know is, if there is a better headline than “Gordon Ramsay’s dwarf porn star lookalike found dead in badger den half eaten” I haven’t read it.
With all his money, he’s buying a soda stream? Jeez, if you can afford a BMW you can afford name-brand soda.
Why couldn’t he buy Pepsi?
The question is Imponderable.

Sometimes we need a better word than “imponderable.”

Yeah, that’s an understatement in this case.
And if anyone is wondering, I had no interest at all in doing further research to see how this turned out.

Aren’t you a little worried about the badger?

Well, the dwarf wasn’t much of a challenge, I figure the badger can take care of himself.
However.
I did a little more checking and found one article (and only one) that claimed that not only was the whole thing a hoax, but implied that the little guy (the dwarf, not the badger) didn’t even exist. In fact, it called him “the alleged dwarf.” There were no other articles other than a few that simply repeated the claims of the one I posted. The author of the skeptical article was more than a little snarky.
However.
There are more than enough pictures of Percy Foster online that prove that A- he existed, B- he was a Gordon Ramsay lookalike, C- he was indeed a dwarf, and D- he was a porn star. Did he really die in a badger hole? Was he eaten by a badger? Badgers are predators that eat small mammals, and Percy Foster was a small mammal, so I tend to believe the story.
(Well, to paraphrase the X-Files, I want to believe it.)

That translates as “this is very surprising, however, not new.” Yup, from back in 2011. For some reason it was all over my Facebook feed a couple of days ago. Old or not, it was too good to ignore.
