6 finger Handbalancer!

Check out Jim's last post on beast skills!

Going to be exciting to watch this guy's progress

Reading this I wish I was born with 10 fingers on each hand, goin' all the way around!

I thought it was interesting in the beginning then i noticed the date of the article. It's the 1st of April so it's probably an April's fool. Would have been cool though.

I was seconds from emailing my physics teacher who is dead against evolution when I noticed the date. Kudos for whoever thought it up.

Mmm.. You know, I was born with an extra thumb on my left hand. Not quite a fully-formed extra, independent thumb; it sorta grew out the side of my main thumb, but had a distinct fingertip and thumbnail. Think I have a baby photo which shows it around somewhere, still. It was cut off not long after I was born.

I do occasionally wonder what things might have been like had I kept the extra thumb.

I know there's a Bollywood actor called Hritik Roshan (sp?) that has an extra thumb exactly as you describe you had when you were born. This guys is quite muscular but I don't know if he's ever done a handstand before haha.

After viewing picture: Funny how when you're younger, things seem much grander. After learning about the world of gymnastics, this guy doesn't look that muscular at all!
