This may provide you with the hillbilly perspective on fingers...

Well, I myself have 10 fingers as well. There was this girl I knew growing up who had an extra digit, that was freaky. But she knew a lot of party tricks.
Then there is this butcher down the block who is missing a thumb, and this guy I knew, who once blew off a thumb and forefinger from holding a big-ass firecracker too long. Silly bastard.

Eeekh I would neither want to have an extra one nor one less. I have 10 fingers and if thumbs do not count, I have 8 fingers.
How many do you have MM?

I have 5 fingers in my left hand and 10 more in my feet! ( I can never count my right hand with my right hand)

I was always told 8 fingers... 2 thumbs... Dunno why!?!
But at the moment, only 3 fingers on 1 hand are functioning... major infection in my index finger... I feel I might end up chewing the thing off!

Gives new meaning to “Touch Me In The Morning”.

MM, whatever gave you such inspiration, that you had to ask this?! or were we just curious?!
lol, I have 10fingers just for the record. though, I too was taught it’s 8 fingers, 2 thumbs. perhaps that’s a BRitish thing too. actually, I think it was just a really lame joke people used to tell to annoy everyone. either way you answer it, you lose.
*ramble mode off*

Zaine, ever had the ’11 fingers trick’ pulled on you? Count to 6 on one hand?? I could never work that out as a child... obviously now I can... I think!
Yeaaah, must be a British thing... the 8 fingers, 2 thumbs... bizarre lot we are!

Wow, having more fingers has to be great for playing guitar or piano :DDDD

mands, yeah I remember having it done to me. can’t remember it, but remember being well scared and thinking i was some kind of mutant thing :| lol

Something like counting backwards on one hand, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 + 5 is 11... and there is another way of doing it, but forgot. It’s cool to do on kids, they sit there counting their fingers for hours after, and so frustrated they can’t make 11. :D

yeah, I was sitting there for a while yesterday, but eventually got it.
what about toes?

When I came into this world I had 4 fingers and a thumb on my right hand, on my left hand I had a thumb and a flipper! Its true, I was born with a webbed hand!
When I was 2, I had an operation to seperate the fingers on my left hand and to remove the excess “webbed” skin!
Yes, I know I was a freak (still am!)
zaine said on January 2, 2004 13:27:
no way antz! that’s cool!
one of my mates had the same, though he never got it seperated. it wasn’t like a ducks foot, not extreme enough to get it operated I guess. but he has it on both his hands and feet.

@zaine: Thats weird that your friend didnt have it corrected, I still have the scarring/skin ridges along the inside of my fingers, everybody asks me about, I suppose you friend must get that a lot too.
zaine said on January 3, 2004 19:08:
yeah but everyone is used to it now. it doesn’t bother him so much
Denstandigaresan said on December 29, 2003 23:45:
I have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs... :D
*totally missing any meaning to this tonight!*
