  The second toe question.

When I was very young someone looked at my feet and said: "Hm, your second toe is bigger than your first toe. That means your mother is going to die before your father".
I was horrified at the thought of either of my parents dying and I thought the toe thing was just stupid.

Then my mother died before my father.

Do you put any credence in the "theory of the toe"?

No.

My second toe is not bigger than my first one and my mom died first.

No, I don't put credence in it. My second toe is smaller than my big toe. I don't know if my biological father is alive so I have no way of knowing who will/has died first.

No. There's no reasonable mechanism by which it could work.

It's got a 50% chance of being right. So... it's no big deal if it does match what happens... half the time it won't. It's just not your half the time.

My second toe is not bigger than the first, and my father died first. I have never heard this, but I would be willing to research this for a proper fee. I'll give you my paypal account #.

No, I don't. The old wives' tale around these here parts is that a longer second toe means you're smart.
Oh, and my second toe is about the same length as my big toe, especially on my right foot.

No. It's a coincidence that such remark was made in your presence, that you took so much care to remember it, and later on that your mother died before your father.

No. My second toe is shorter than my first, but from my observations of other people's toes, I have noted that it is much more likely that the second toe will be longer (which I assume is what you mean by "bigger," as it would be fudging weird if someone's second toe was actually larger all around than their big toe). Anyway, both my parents are still alive, so I'm no help statistically here, but from the aforementioned observations, I would say that the number of longer second toes is too high for this to be true, especially as women tend to have longer lifespans that men. Sounds like an old wives' tale to me.

50-50 chance to get this right, so it's not that impressive...

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet but...

What if you have a brother or sister whose first toe is bigger than their second?

I was talking with a neighbor recently and she heard that having the second toe longer than the first was a sign of royalty.

That means one of the two is adopted. No exceptions.

Ah yes, silly me for neglecting to take into account that obvious and easily explainable contingency. I'm converted.

That was my first thought when I saw this survey for the first time. I thought I'd missed something, until I clicked on it and saw what it was about.

My second toe is smaller than my first.. according to shallow hal it's not good to have a big second toe..

My mother died before my Dad and my (nor my brother or sister) second toe is not bigger than the first. I have a split between my front teeth and have been told I'm either a good singer or a good liar... I really suck at both. I did have one girl who also had a split between her teeth tell me it meant I was good in bed .... I never heard that....I think she just wanted us to find out together.

My second toe is not bigger than my first toe. It may be a smidge longer than my first toe, however. And my mother passed away two years ago ... I still have my daddy. I don't think it has anything to do with the size or length of my toes.
