Simpsons Did It of the Day: James Byrne of Bristol accidentally severed his thumb while doing a bit of sawing.
Plastic surgeons at Frenchay Hospital were unable to reattach the hacked-off digit, so they settled for the next best thing: They put his big toe in its place.
Byrne says having a fully functional hand is crucial in his line of work, so he would not have been able to “earn a decent living” without one.

I love West Country accents they all sound like sexy pirates, mostly the women.
Gives new meaning to the term toe thumb. I just learned that my condition is called (asymmetric) Brachydactyly type D. Thanks, Wikipedia!
