What Dr Who and I have in common

Apparently David Tennant and I have something in common: we both have a condition called polydactyly.

In other words we both have eleven toes.

Wikipedia lists famous people with polydactyly: David Tennant isn't on it; nor am I. In fact I don't know any of the 'famous' people on the list. 

But the idea that Anne Boleyn had six fingers is a myth put about after her death. Another question we got wrong in the quiz last Saturday.

Email to the heart consultant's secretary yesterday brought the usual reply: I'll talk to the doctor about it. And then silence.

My goodness, I would have thought that it would be 12.

The secretary's reply reminds me of the old "The check is in the mail" response.
