Baby, Kamani Hubbard, born at San Francisco’s St Luke’s Hospital, was born with 2 extra fingers and 2 extra toes. While this condition of having extra digits, called polydactylism, is not uncommon among new borns, it is rare for the extra digits to look normal and also be functional.
It appears that the baby looked so normal that maternity staff at the hospital didn’t even notice the discrepancy after he was born three weeks ago. Nor was it picked up by the radiographer who conducted pre-natal ultrasound scans.
The extra digits - including five fingers and a thumb on each hand - were eventually spotted by the baby’s father, Kris Hubbard, a postal worker.
“It’s merely an interesting and beautiful variation rather than a worrisome thing. I would be tempted to leave those fingers in place,” said Dr Michael Treece, a paediatrician at St Luke’s.
“I realise children would tease each other over the slightest things, and having extra digits on each hand is more than slight. But imagine what sort of pianist a 12-fingered person would be. Imagine what sort of a flamenco guitarist. If else, think of their typing skills.”
Hell yea, keep those fingers and toes on. If I had an extra finger or two, I could finally beat that level on guitar hero.
Makes perfect sense to me. And math is just opinion anyway. This is simple system of units people.
I thought the manager would come over sort everything out, and maybe we would hear lay some Christian Bale style smackdown on the rep, but then BAM, I’m hit with the harsh reality that is the American education system.* Ok, I almost never badmouth America, but let’s just say I’m extremely disappointed at the education system.
*Note: I’m not sure that these Verizon customer service reps are American, but there is a strong chance that they are.
Please teach your children that math is still important. At the very least, do it so they don’t get embarrassed like this.
The guy you see in the picture above is Alejandro Melendez. He’s famous now. Why? Because he’s in jail. In jail for being stupid. He put a 911 dispatcher on hold (you know a fake hold. the kind where you drop down the phone without even covering the mouth piece) and continued his drug deal while the dispatcher listened in.
Police said Melendez called 911 late Saturday and reported that two men with guns were watching him.
Police records show he hung up, so the dispatcher called back.
Melendez answered and asked the dispatcher to hold on, but the dispatcher could still hear what was being said.
“What you need? A 10-pack? You need a 10-pack? All right.” Police say “10-pack” is slang for a bundle of heroin.
Alejandro, you know, you should never call the police while you’re on the drugs that you’re also dealing. Well now you know. I hope you have someone protecting you in the shower, because jail is rough.
You gotta give it to him, his points are very rock solid. I did the exact same test in my own bathroom shower, except with a race car instead of boat, and the same thing happened; the ice got rocked. Let the truth be known, free yourselves, and tell your friends about the government conspiracy! Now where’s my tinfoil hat and my anti probe butt plugs?
So where did they exactly get this picture from? The customs officials must have been, “Hold on hold on, don’t take the pigeons out yet, I need a picture for myspace.”
The alleged bird smuggler, who arrived in Melbourne on Sunday on a flight from Dubai, was being questioned, the officials said.
An Australian traveller was caught with two live pigeons stuffed in his trousers as he returned from a trip to the Middle East, customs officials said today.
They found the pigeons wrapped in padded envelopes and strapped to each of the man’s legs with a pair of tights. Officials also seized seeds in his money belt and an undeclared eggplant.
An undeclared eggplant? A new take on the old joke. Are you happy to see me or is that just your undeclared eggplant?
What kind of drugs do they use at his dentist because my dentist needs to know. Then I’ll be more than happy to go in for my root canal that I’ve been avoiding for years.
Where am I? Is this real life? Why do you have 4 eyes? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FINGERS?!?!?! AHHHHHHHH!
Speaking of fingers, “You know they call them fingers, but you never see them fing.” I was waiting for him to say “I have the munchies”. Ah kids are so cute; they just tell it like it is.

Remember the traffic signs warning about Nazi zombies in Texas? Well this time it’s raptors in Indiana. And with the latest news about scientists cloning an extinct animal, this warning sign could soon be a reality. Although we would be breaking the number 1 rule that Jussaric Park taught us: NO FREAKING RAPTORS.
Anyone else think the message could be way better? I’m still waiting for an awesome hacked sign.
Not too bad of an movie eh? The Face Slimmer. Ok, I’ll stop punishing my loyal readers with my movie dialog. I actually think that the japanese face slimmer will work to some extent. Where it’ll move your face fat to? I have an idea.
