Ewwwww!

• Thomas Howie of Madison Heights, Michigan, has become "increasingly depressed" and "paranoid about food served by others" since an incident at a Detroit Olive Garden restaurant, The Detroit News reports.

Howie filed a lawsuit against the restaurant for "tangible and intangible harm" to the tune of $25,000 in Macomb Circuit Court," he spit out the offending object, which appeared to be the foot of a rat with fur and claws.

"My stomach just heaved; I threw up right in the restaurant," Howie said. "Until this happened, this was my favorite restaurant. I still can't believe it."

Olive Garden isn't buying it: "We have no reason to believe there is any validity to this claim," a representative said.

Howie had a tetanus shot to treat the cut in his mouth and took the foot to police.
