(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Went to stay with my sister last weekend and dragged out all the family photos (Warning- only do this when very very drunk!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Anyway, we noticed that in all pictures where we are bare-footed, our big toes stick up in the air like the thumbs up gesture! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Also, the rest of our (all four sisters and my mums) toes can fan out! Is this :
a) A family trait? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Common to everybody? c) A medical phenomenon that should have immediate coverage in The Lancet? d) Something we should be extremely worried about? As you can imagine, this caused great hilarity with everybody taking off socks and shoes comparing toe movements! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Would be interested to hear what other people can do with their toes! Remember, this is a family show!

I can do that...maybe we are long lost cousins (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
PS I once, when I was about 16, won a prize for the girl with longest big toe. (My big toe is my longest toe, I notice a lot of people have their second toe longer than their big toe...how deformed is that?? Yuk!!) |

Not sure about my toes - but I can sure do some cool things with my hands and fingers! Bending my thumb back at 90 degrees is just the start! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I can spread my toes up but I have to agree, having your second toe longer thatn your first is VERY strange. But I'm glad my toes aren't like my dad's - he has staghettin toes!! They're really long!! And some of my fingers bend sideways,which I either inherited from my Dad or has come form playing piano/violin nearly all my life.

I can move the little toe of my right foot all on its own - from side to side - without moving any of the others. I learned to do it quite consciously as a child (must have been really bored).
Can't do it with the left one (yet). |

I can get my toes to form steps (because they can bend the opposite way round to how they-re supposed to as well as the right way) and I can bend just the top section of my finger doen on 3 of my fingers, with the first knuckle straight. Now I can blame that on my technology teacher!
