Either rumor or fact has gotten ugly, or at least not at all funny. Multiple reports from the Conde Nast building at 4 Times Square indicate that the "suspicious animal part" under investigation is in fact human. Worse, more than one person has reported it to be... an umbilical cord. Eesh. We'll turn this one over to NY1 now.

On the other hand, some say: "I don't know where you got your information about the incident at CondeNast today but it is 99% fabricated [...] The item has not yet been identified [...] It also has not been determined if the item was left as a joke." Wait. Employees of Conde Nast fabricate things? Whoa. You're bumming my whole headtrip.
