31 Fingers and Toes

An unidentified 6-year-old boy in Shenyang, China has a world record 31 digits: 15 fingers and 16 toes! He isn't able to use all the fingers, as three are fused together in the middle of each hand. He will soon undergo surgery to reduce the number of extra digits. The previous record was 25 fingers and toes, held by two children in India. Link -via Arbroath

Oh sure, polydactyly is cute in cats but not in humans?

I think it is amazing.... makes you realize the power of genetics, the potential in cell engineering... all kinds of stuff.

It's the first face hugger prototype. Man, they wasted three actresses before hitting on the idea that making it from unyielding metal might not be such a good idea after all... But hey, that's why now we have Sigourney Weaver, so be thankful for the little thingamajig!

A set of regular tongs for a person with six very small hands (three arms/hands on each side of their body).

These are ancient wedding forks. The handles would have had ornately carved and bejeweled bone or ivory fittings. Way back in the "Game of Thrones" era, the bride and groom at a wedding would playfully try to take a bite from the same hunk of meat using forks like these. It was a way of showing the world that they were "in it together". It could often be a bloody affair and left many a nasty scar, but this is actually where the tradition of smashing cake into each others mouths got started.
