We haven't QUITE scraped the bottom of the poll barrel yet.... I got this idea from Ny Nordland's freckle thread. ;)

Ummmm..*gets ruler*

1 3/4 of an inch.

May I ask why you care?

"Dive, dive, dive!"

Fear my second toe's length...I can hold a pencil with it.

Ever seen what toe writing looks like?

No it will be the bottem when they ask what shade of yellow your teeth are.

It's a little shorter than my big toe and there is about a 6mm gap between them.

Why do you ask?

can't vote, my right one is the same length as my big toe, but my left one is slightly shorter.

Asking the length of toe nails would be better now, wouldnt it?

Actually, my aunt can strike a wooden kitchen match with her toes, and when I am too lazy to pick up things I have dropped (pencils, socks in the laundry room, bits of popcorn that need to be thrown out 'cos they hit the floor) I pick 'em up with my toes.

Shorter! :cool:

These threads are reminding me of back in 8th grade biology..

The teacher gave us this sheet of characteristicseses..ses.. and we had to mark off what we had.

I think it had something to do with.. dominant/recessive.. something.

It's a smidge shorter than my big toe, but it's no shorter than other people's second toes that tend to be longer than their big toes. My big toe is just much larger than average (read: not almost half an inch shorter than the second toe, as it is with many people).

It's a bonus, really, because it gives me excellent balance, and it looks uniform with the rest of my foot, unlike having some mutant second toe and a midget for a big toe.

Same here, all my toes are hammer toes, so the nails can hook on to cloths n' stuff.

Why would that be? Unless you have a mishap, the length of your toes once you stop growing is not variable. Toenail length would be depending on when (or if) you clip them.

Yes, but have you tried to write with it? And are you right- or left-footed?

My 2nd toe is a tad shorter than my big toe.

Ummmm..*gets ruler*

1 3/4 of an inch.

My friend seems to think that having a longer second toe is a "problem" whereas I think it is a normal variation. Just curious to see the proportion of longer to shorter.

I'm not looking for people to sit there and measure their feet -- I don't have a fetish! :p

-- I don't have a fetish! :p

That's what they all say.

:eek: I'm a freak! No one else so far has those two toes the same length! :p

Now you can. ;)

Now you can. ;)

Darn, lucky mods fixing their own polls.

We haven't QUITE scraped the bottom of the poll barrel yet.... I got this idea from Ny Nordland's freckle thread. ;)

Actually, I think I scraped the bottom of the barrel away a few months back when I did a poll asking which public toilets people used--the regular stall or the executive suite for the disabled.

And my second toe is longer than my big toe.

Nah, we can do much worse, I'm sure.

hammer toes :confused:

:( I feel as if I haven’t lived (and I have the standard big toe oppressing the smaller ones:) )

Mine don't look like the picture, more like a straight toe with a 90 degree angle at the last joint, I also don't have bunions. (thank god for roomy construction boots)

I seem to remember that the thread that went with the poll stretched to about 150 replies and an in-depth discussion about the merits of public toilets...

Anyway. Both my second toes are approximately one inch long.

I have moles. On my toes. And yes - this really is scraping the bottom of the barrel re: polls. Good thing I'm quietly nursing a bit of a hangover.

Just sayin'.


Edit: my second toe is shorter than my big toe, on both feet.

Heh, people have asked me to add choices to their polls too.

I do that too! :eek:

I thought everyone could? :confused:

The noble toe shall rule them all!

all of my toes are unaturally long (or that's how the taunting when when I was a kid... monkey toes and all....) but my second toe is slightly longer than my big toe, my big toe is the same length as my third toe which is longer than my fourth which is longer than my pinky toe which is very odd shaped after being broken so many times, the other foot looks about the same only the pinky toe has been broken fewer times.


EDIT: yes I can pick up things with my toes, and yes I use them for everyday tasks, like picking up laundry without having to bend over, playing the guitar (not great at that yet) and brading hair...LOL

Well, it's longer than my big toe for starter. Let's get the ol' yard stick out....oh...wow, it is two inches long. That's a big toe if I do say so myself. WHere did you come up with this wonderful question?

My second toes are longer then my big toes. I'm sure there is some kind of significance to this... or something. Maybe.

Can I just claim that it makes me better in bed and get it over with? :p

They are the same length which I never knew was rare. I know now that I was right to feel special. I request money.

Mine is almost the same length, but just a bit shorter.

We need group names for the options. I propose "Twinkle-toes" for the ones with shorter second toes.

A number of posters started talking about it in Ny Nordland's freckle thread, so I figured it would a) be interesting and b) stop a toe-hijacking of his thread.

Looking at my toes, it looks as though they're different lengths (without measuring), but they're both still shorter than my big toes.

;) No matter WHAT I say, I can't win, so.....

BUMBLEBEES!

;)

Now that I check they are the same length, and I need to clip them:p

:D

*suddenly gets this mental image of NationStaters across the globe reading the polls, then all reaching over, untying shoes, removing socks, and contemplating their feet.*

A world world united... by toes.

sounds like a conspiracy of toes

Yes, but have you tried to write with it? And are you right- or left-footed?

I apparently suck equally at writing with either foot.

My second toes are shorter than my big toes.

What's more interesting, though, is that the second & third toes on my left foot are webbed. :)

My big toe and the one next to it are about the same length from knuckle to toenail but the big toe's knuckle is positioned about 1/4 inch closer to my heel so I decided that the one next to it is the longest toe by virtue of it looking longer and being the first on to feel pain when I stub into something trying to make it to the bathroom in the middle of the night without turning on the lights.

Now you can. ;)

Thanks, I don't feel left out any more :fluffle:


and yes, I can write with my feet... both of em.













cant read the language I write in... it looks like some form of shorthand... but all connected together... :confused:

ew ew ew that is freeeky how is that loads of people have second toes bigger or the same length as their big toe??? are these people chimpanzees by any chance?!

I think that's called an Egyptian foot or something.

I, however, have longer big toes. Large enough to be able to stand solely on them for a few seconds, actually.

they are the same length.

my 2nd and 3rd are webbed half way up on my left and quarter of the way up on my right. i am a freak. *returns to job at circus*

My second toes are shorter than my big toes.

What's more interesting, though, is that the second & third toes on my left foot are webbed. :)

Like that on both feet for me, those two toes are fairly close together, and cannot be moved independently of each other.

I can also pick up things with my feet, and often do because I walk around barefoot constantly. I hate shoes.
