My brother sent me this news item:
PLUM ISLAND, N.Y. (WPIX) [SOURCE HERE]
An alleged mutated human body washed ashore on Plumb Island, a small island where the U.S. Government typically studies dangerous animal diseases.
A security guard on foot patrol reportedly discovered the clothed decomposing body Thursday afternoon on the southwest beach area of the island, where access is restricted, police said.
The body was described as that of a white male about 6-feet tall with a large build and "very long" fingers. According to authorities, there were no obvious signs of trauma.
An autopsy will be conducted by the Suffolk County medical examiner in order to determine an exact cause of death.
Plum Island, which is located about 100 miles northeast of New York City in the Long Island Sound, has been called a potential target for terrorists because of its stock of vaccines and diseases.
I wonder how long the fingers were. For someone to mention them, I'm assuming they needed to be at LEAST an inch or more longer than normal human fingers. I mean, if I found a body and felt compelled to include finger length in addition to body length, the fingers would be about a foot long each.
There's not a lot of information about human finger length on the internet. It seems the recorded data is all about deformities or Marfan's syndrome, and not natural aberrations.
So how long were this poor man's fingers?
