h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am one of those unusual people who have two toes on each foot that are webbed. Does anyone else have webbed toes or know anything about it? All I know is that it is most common for humans to have the 2nd and 3rd toes webbed (which I do) by skin and flexible tissue that does not die whilst in fetal development.

Well I don't. Does anybody?


* boots conversation to the top of the list *

Me neither.

*keeps the conversation high*

One of the children that my mum fostered had the last two toes on each foot webbed. She had an operation to seperate them. She cried a lot when they changed the bandages, but that's all I know. She's also had a 5/6th 'finger' removed from her little fingers before she came to us at about three years old.

I also have my second and third toes webbed on each foot. So does my mother and my great grandmother did as well, so maybe its genetic.
