Hexadecimal boy
 
Boy in China with 16 toes and 15 fingers!

Using his toes, he'd be a natural for computer programming

Don't hate, he's just more evolved than the rest of us.

i see a bright future for him on the olympic swim team.

I was never good at hex.

I prefer straight binary. I won't explain how I count it.

masraum 03-24-2010 04:51 PM

Yeah, that's pretty bizarre.

Other than shoes and socks, I wonder if it caused any problems. I'd think that it may be a benefit in certain situations.

Most I ever saw was 13 toes, sort of a cool surgery to do though.

This is what happens when pollutants and CO2 emissions aren't regulated!

I could see why they/he would want his extra fingers removed. 15 is an odd number.

But if you had 14 or 16 normal working and looking figers - i.e. just extra, not deformed or defunct in any why.... it wouldn't be all that bad, would it? Might be worth keeping.


Besides fitting into shoes, those feet looks mildly normal. I was expecting some elephant-man deformed toes sticking out everywhere.

I upstate NY, we used to call them "KAPL KATS" (pronounced cappul). KAPL - Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. They used to build the nuclear reactors for subs and Aircraft carriers.

We had 2 cats like this. One was similar to the above, with about 7 toes, really extra toes and pads. The other simply had thumbs, a single toe off-set like an opposable thumb.

I always thought that the ones with the "double feet" might have an advantage in the snow.

Gogar 03-24-2010 06:18 PM

Ehhhhh. No problem with the shoes.

A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious 'Al-Gebra' movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of 'math instruction'.

" 'Al-Gebra' is a problem for us", the Attorney General said. "They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like 'X' and 'Y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country."

As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes..."

White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President. It is believed that the Nobel Prize for Physics will follow. :p


Oh CRAP! It's happening! More fingers and toes! Obama was right!

Swim coachs everywhere are saddened to hear that they cut off some of this guys toes!
