Kid with 31 fingers and toes!

That's a lot of little piggies! It's gonna take more than wee wee wee to get all the way home... look at those feet!

A Chinese boy with 31 fingers and toes is set to undergo an operation to remove the extra digits. The six-year-old boy, whose name has not been released, has 16 toes and 15 fingers. One of the fingers is incomplete and appears on X-ray photographs as a "fork" sticking out from the right thumb.

The boy, from Shenyang in China's north-eastern Liaoning province, beats the current world record of 12 fingers and 13 toes. The condition is known as polydactyly.
