Did you know that Buzz Aldrin has six fingers on his right hand?

It's true! Actually, no, it's not true.

1. Neil Armstrong only had four on his left.

For a short time, anyway.

"In autumn of 1979, Armstrong was working at his farm near Lebanon, Ohio. As he jumped off of the back of his grain truck, his wedding ring caught in the wheel, tearing off his ring finger. However, he calmly collected the severed digit, packed it in ice, and managed to have it reattached by microsurgeons at the Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky."

3. I met Buzz once.

It was at the space museum in Huntsville. Funny- when I shook his hand I didn't notice the extra digit... :rofl:

4. When I meet the six fingered man, I will say to him

"Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"

6. Daughter #1 had 11 fingers, daughter #2 had 12

I was afraid to have more kids after that.

8. You actually had me looking for pictures of Buzz Aldrin

I also found this website, which tells all about Buzz's sixth finger.

9. All the better to punch out religious loonies with.

There is some guy named Bart Sibrel who claims all the moon landings were faked. He ambushed Buzz with a camera crew and demanded that he swear on a Bible that he really did walk on the moon, then began calling him a coward and a liar. The 72 year old Buzz smacked him in the face.
