Default Baby born with 24 digits

"Hospital officials in California are counting the praises of a baby boy born with 24 perfectly formed fingers and toes, six on each hand and foot.
Kevin McCormack, spokesman for St. Luke's hospital in the San Franciso area, confirmed the "extraordinary" child was born about three weeks ago at the hospital with a condition known as postaxial polydactylism."

Thats pretty cool lol. 24 fingers, that could be useful!

I have a nephew that was born with 6 toes on each foot. I don't remember for sure but his dad had them on both his hands and feet.

Both had them surgically removed at a very early age.

This guy needs to start his guitar and piano training right away.

This is the kind of evolution we all need.

From a woman's perspective: WHOOO HOOO! Does he have an older brother!
From a pregnant woman's perspective: At least he's healthy and it won't be a disability.
From a CP'er's perspective: And the winner of "Heads up, Thumbs up is...."

Uhh no, to be a master of your domain, you need zero fingers.

Does that look like more than six fingers on each hand when you take a quick, abstract look to anyone else? That one extra digit really stands out.
