celtic toe ?

Anybody on here ever heard of 'celtic toe' ? I ran across it on a website a little while back. It is also called Morton's toe. The toe next to the big toe is equal to or longer than the big toe and it is supose to date back about 2 or 3 thousand years ago and shows up today in about 86% of people with celtic DNA. So if you or your family originate from Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall or Brittiny; check your feet and please post back as to what you find.

Thanks,

Yep, i got it.



Funny story...I was talking to a friend who's wife is a historian here in Ireland, and apparently there is so few celtic artifacts found in the emerald isles that it is highly unlikely that the Celts ever settled there. I find that funny.

Being of purely Germanic ancestry in the last few generation I still have it 🙂

My father and my younger brother too as my eldest son.

Yep. My second toe is the longest (barely). Irish blood.

wut? isn't everyone's second toe the longest? 😕

Oh crap...

I can swear that I come from decent lineage: hardworking,
abstemious and non-promiscuous. Moreover, I am well
endowed...

... and still I have those toes longer than the others.

That's it. I'll chop them off.
