How many fingers do you have?

Eight

Diez.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Yup, I have all ten fingers.

Ten. One of my uncle's is short part of a finger from a carpentry mistake, and I once met a woman with a small, underdeveloped extra finger on each hand. That was odd, to say the least.

Ten. Or technically eight fingers and two thumbs.

ten

This is a good survey, although I suspect there will be a lot of pointless argument about the "thumb" issue.

I don't think it's as odd as most people think. Usually they are surgically removed shortly after birth but I think extra digits happen a lot more frequently than most other birth defects. My twin aunts were six-fingered and six-toed.

Ten

Eight, because a thumb isn't a finger?

How many fingers am I holding up?

11 of course, like all Europeans.

The answer would depend on whether you count thumbs as fingers.

Do thumbs count as fingers?

Gee, I thought you guys were on the metric system...

Fair enough; I'd simply never seen it before. Also, this is a grown woman. Either she takes the extra (nonfunctional) digits as a gift from G-d or she just hasn't got the money, time, or interest to do anything about them...

Ha! That's exactly what we want you to believe!

Eight. Plus two thumbs.

Technically, 8 fingers and two thumbs.

that is not a finger!!

was that before or after they were separated?

8.

10 on my hands.10 more on my feet.20.More than 10.

8 fingers and 2 thumbs. Wait, make that seven fingers, because I just gave you "the finger".

The ones on your feet are called toes, dear.

Yeah,okay!
They look like fingers,honey!

I changed my vote anyway.To ten.Please don't tell me I only have 8 and the other two are thumbs!

'Scuse me?

Ten, but I have a cousin who has 11.

If you want to get technical, then 8 fingers and 2 thumbs.

Two thumbs and eight fingers.

I refuse to count my fingers for a survey. That would be too time consuming. Ask me when I'm in a better mood and I might do it!

Just ten (considering that my thumbs are digits also). Sorry... Looking for mutants?

Hey! What's up Hon? Did you have a good trip?
(Don't answer here if you don't want, give me a couple of days and I will be back on my favorite e-mail site - I have to pay with a credit card now, so I've not used e-mail too much recently. I don't like Eudora with Sympatico [our local telephone company] and an old, new version of my first e-mail...)

eleven

Eight. Thumbs don't count do they? We used to play that game at school - I'm never sure if the usual reasoning was right.

I haven't gone on my trip, yet. We're leaving Sunday morning and coming back on Thursday or Friday.

I'VE BEEN DUPED!!!

OK, I won't!

What kind of a question is that?

I agree with the whole thumb thing

Never mind, Biggles already started on it.

Ten.. but sometimes I count them to be sure .

When I lived in hillbillyville, NC there were lots of deformities like that around. There was one man who had fingers without knuckles.. the fingernails were where the knuckles should be.. the weird thing was that his daughter's fingers were the same way. Also, at our pediatrician's office, there were two nurses who were twins, one of them had severely deformed hands.

Growing up we had a our neighbor had an aunt that would visit from time to time that did not have arms.. her hands grew right out of her shoulders.. her husband(yes, she had one) had to wipe her ass for her.

hillbillyville, NC!
HA!
I mean...dang.

I hang out in an NC chatroom quite a bit because I have a very close friend who "unfortunately" lives there. I have seen and heard some things I never would have believed. One fella looked at my profile pic and messaged me, and I quote:

"dang girl your sure purty, but why so melon collie?"

I had conversations with people like that every time I left the house I think... You don't see very many smart ones. Well, I shouldn't say that.. they're smart in a different way.. Like little old ladies that have been plucking chickens and picking cotton by hand since they were 4.. It's like the opposite of street smart. Farm smart?

i have 8. 888.

Eight, and two thumbs.

chicken smart?

On me at the moment 8 and two thumbs but like the rest of my body I have extras for differing occasions.

I cut a finger off those who cross me as a reminder I have a short temper.

Oh well! Bon voyage - again!

The last case you describe sounds like a thalidomide-related defect:

Umm...yeah...I have ten.
May I ask what the point of this survey was?
Sure, some people may be deformed, or may have lost a few, but REALLY.

Thanks for the link.. That is really interesting and you're probably right. The woman was probably born in the 50's since she was around my mom's age.

.. Maybe... that woman knew every natural remedy out there.. and some that I found to be questionable. For instance, when Mary had an ear infection as a newborn, she wanted me to put my own urine in her ear.

HA!

Eight fingers & two thumbs...........

Is this a trick question???????

ten if thumbs count =)...are thumbs considered phalanges?

fudge you, NC is not a bad place

and fudge you, for jumping on the NC bandwagon

heheheheheh

I am so very sure that like my closest online friend who lives there...you are one of the exceptions to the whole "chicken smart" thing.

Are thumbs fingers

OK LOOK A THUMB IS A FINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EACH FINGER HAS A NAME AND THIS ONE IS CALLED A "THUMB" JUST LIKE A PINKY... ITS STILL A FINGER!!!! SO YOU HAVE 10 FINGERS
