Baby Born In Bay Area With 12 Functioning Fingers, 12 Toes

DALY CITY, Calif. -- A Daly City couple is beaming after becoming
the proud parents of a healthy but incredibly rare baby boy this
month.

Baby Kamani Hubbard has six-fully formed and functional fingers and
toes on his hands and feet. It's called "polydactyly" -- extra
digits -- not an uncommon genetic trait, but Bay Area doctors say
they've never seen a case so remarkable.

Born at San Francisco's Saint Luke's Hospital three weeks ago,
Hubbarb seemed so perfect at birth no one noticed.

"Nurses and doctors, looked so normal they couldn't tell, they
told me he was six pounds in good health, that was all they said,"
said Miryoki Gross, Hubbard's mother.

But his dad Kris Hubbard noticed this spectacularly rare case of
polydactyly: 6-perfect fingers on each hand and 6-perfect toes on
each foot, which went well beyond a general trait that runs in his
family.

"Some family member have had six fingers, not completely developed.
But not the toes," said Kris Hubbard, 34 and a postal worker.

In fact Kris Hubbard himself had nubs of sixth fingers removed as a
child as these non-functional digits routinely are.

But Hubbards case is so vanishingly rare according to doctors, and
because the extra digits are functional, it's not a deformity to be
discarded.

"It's merely an interesting and beautiful variation rather than a
worrisome thing," said Dr. Michael Treece and St. Luke's Hospital
Pediatrician. "I would be tempted to leave those fingers in place.
I realize 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 a pianist a 12-fingered person would be
imagine what sort of a flamenco guitarist, if nothing else think
of their typing skills."

Kamani's mother says she hasn't had time to absorb this; her baby's
specialness didn't even show up on prenatal ultrasounds.

" I heard nothing before I gave birth so I'm still in shock,
kinda," said Gross.

"I just want him to see what greatness will be in store for him,"
said Kris Hubbard.

The Florida Marlins's pitcher Antonio Alfonseca, blues guitarist
Hound Dog Taylor and several remarkable figures in history have had
polydactyly.

This little guy may, at the very least, help others grasp the
importance of embracing difference.

It is not a variation. This is left over DNA from the nephilim who
had 6 fingers and toes on each hand and foot.

Do you have any supporting evidence for this assertion that the
nephilim had six toes on each foot and six fingers on each hand?

The Old Testament doesn't offer up this description, nor do the
Ethiopian texts, nor as far as I can tell do any of the ancient texts
you hold in such high esteem.


Just google "nephilim fingers and toes" Lots of hits.

Which does not mean dipshit adman is right about the reason for the
polydactyle condition.

Must you be a lying idiot /every/ day of your life?

So where's the lie?


Take a break. You might learn something
