One traveler paid $US10 ($NZ11.90) for a picture with him, Hernandez said, a bonanza in a country with an average salary of just $US20 a month.</p><p>&#8221;It&#8217;s thanks to my 24 digits that I&#8217;m able to make a living, because I have no fixed job,&#8221; Hernandez said.</p><p>Known as polydactyly, Hernandez&#8217;s condition is relatively common, but it&#8217;s rare for the extra digits to be so perfect. Anyone who glanced quickly at his hands would be hard-pressed to notice anything different unless they paused and started counting.</p><p>Hernandez said that as a boy he was visited by a prominent Cuban orthopedist who is also one of Fidel Castro&#8217;s doctors, and he declared that in all his years of travel he had never seen such a case of well-formed polydactyly.</p></blockquote><p>Source: <a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/5518499/Twelve-fingers-and-Cuban-man-is-proud-of-it" title="Yoandri Hernandez Garrido shows off his six-fingered hands">Twelve fingers and Cuban man is proud of it</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://cryptoworld.co.uk/cuban-man-has-12-fingers/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Video: The Dancing Pig!</title><link>http://cryptoworld.co.uk/video-the-dancing-pig/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=video-the-dancing-pig</link> <comments>http://cryptoworld.co.uk/video-the-dancing-pig/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Aug 2011 23:20:39 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>David</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Forteana]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fortean]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Macabre]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Weirdness]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://cryptoworld.co.uk/?p=2830</guid> <description><![CDATA[OK, this has been around for years, well since 1907 in fact!
