Beau and I watched a weird story about a dude who was feeding sausages to an eel (side note: yuck. Eels look like turds with teeth), and--surprise!--the eel mistook his thumb for a sausage and bit it off. They had footage of the event. Can't really blame the eel; the dude was feeding it finger-shaped food.
So the dude (yes, I'm aware I keep calling him dude--you would too if you saw him) was without a thumb. And, of all the digits you could lose, that's the one you'd miss the most. So he got radical surgery. He had one of his toes removed and placed on his hand in lieu of a thumb.
He had a real-life toe thumb. I'd include a picture, but it's too disturbing (but there's a colorful array of images to be found on Google).
I don't know that I could hold hands with toe-thumb dude.
Could you?
