A scuba diver is feeding Giant Moray Eels near Phuket, Thailand when one of the Eels mistakes his thumb for a sausage and bites it clear off. Later he had an operation to graft one of his big toes onto his hand. Action starts after 3:00

Those guys always scared me when I was young and snorkeling. Now I've got one at home...only 1 foot long though!

Hmmm..I think I would have waited for the cooler bionic thumb.

That's why gloves are so important!! Even in tropical waters.

I was born with lack of thumbs and only four fingers. I was going to have a surgery to use one of my toes as a thumb. But the doctor decided to use one of my existing fingers (right hand) to make a thumb on my right hand. Bascially, cut the finger and rotate it. It works but not very strong. At least I can handshake, hold cups (not heavy and not too long), etc.

I don't think I would like this toe idea.
