[edit] Source?

"In some african tribes, the toe is considered to be the sexiest part of the human body. This shows the differences in cultures, and different perspectives one can have."

What's the source for this? --^{speak to}gadren 01:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I notice that most people seem to have their little toe folded sideways. Is this natural or the product of shoe-wearing? Bastie 00:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

How many joints should there be on each human toe?

[edit] Moving toes

Is in physically possible for a person to move ( flex, curl ) all his toes separately from each other? Is there anything in the structure of the foot that prevents three middle toes from moving separately? --Itinerant1 09:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notes for Cleanup

"Why, Phillips asks, must toes "merely be counted?" In a Feb. 14 (1991?) NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE letter, he proposes labels for the pedal digits: porcellus fori (big toe), p. domi (second toe); p. carnivorus (third toe), p. nonvoratus (fourth digit) and p. plorans domum (smallest toe). These names--all variations on a theme by Mother Goose--translate loosely into: little pig at market, baby pig at home, meat-eating piglet, small pig that's not eaten, and piggy crying all the way home."

The largest toe is called the Hallux—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdwyer (talk • contribs)

The above is taken from http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Name+this+little+piggy-a010658401 though I'm not sure what it has to do with cleanup.--Shantavira 16:12, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

This article is actually terrible. Could someone who knows something about the subject please add to it?

[edit] toes and intelligent design

the very fact that humans have toes shows that we descended from apes. Otherwise why the hell would god have given us toes? This should go in the article. With creationist editors around here, no wonder this article sucks. 166.193.192.11 (talk) 22:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
