CHINESE MAN HAD NINE TOES (ON ONE FOOT)

A 21-year-old Chinese man born with nine toes on his left foot finally had the four extra digits surgically removed after a lifetime of living with the deformity. The man, who doctors identified only as Ajun, said that his parents were reluctant to do the surgery when he was a baby — since a fortune teller claimed the extra toes were “a gift from the heavens.” Though he was able to walk, Ajun, a native of Lufeng City in South China’s Guangdong Province, says he spent his life ashamed to wear sandals.

* Sandals? Do you really want little pebbles and sand getting in between nine toes?
* But he was really, really good at counting to twenty-four.
* I bet playing “this little piggy” with him took an hour.
* “This little piggy had roast beef… and this little piggy had pork ribs… and this little piggy had Szechuan chicken… and this little piggy had the pu-pu platter…”
* It’s not all good news. He had to give up the title of “Toe Jam King of the World”.
