Extra Fingers


I heard recently that the new Bond girl was born with 6 fingers on each hand. That is pretty fucking cool. Imagine all the possiblities/difficulties of having extra digits. No? Well I have and here is what I thought of:

When learning to count as a child I'm sure she did better counting up to twelve than all the other kids. Being a person who is horrible at math, that would have been key.

I'm sure it was hard to find mittens. Do you double up in one finger or just wear gloves all the time?

However, I'm sure you have more leverage and a better grip when throwing snow and/or meatballs at people's faces.

What if there was an emergency and someone was dying and you had to reach in their open chest to massage their heart to start and there are small latex gloves that in no way would fit an extra finger? I'm sure that would be a tough call.

When the person is pissed which one is the middle finger? Do they just raise both fingers together? I think that would come across pretty clearly.

Now that I think about...that is fucking creepy. It sounds horrible and I hope to never have to encounter one of these freaks. I especially hope to never shake a mutant hand, they might have a supergrip that rips my arm off. Fuck that's scary!
