Indian Boy Has 25 Fingers, Toes
Devender Harne, 10, was born with 25 fingers and toes -- six fingers on each hand, six toes on one foot and seven on the other.
Though it would be considered an abnormality to some, Devender says it allows him to work faster than the average child.
The extra digits on his hands and feet don't hinder his daily life. Like any normal 10-year-old, he goes to school, plays sports and spends time with his friends.
The Guinness Book of World Records has contacted the boy's family and is investigating whether he has the most useful fingers and toes in the world.
