A pirate with six toes on each foot has been captured by a Royal Navy operation in the Indian Ocean.
The Somalian, known as Six Toe Joe, was one of 14 suspects handed over to the Seychelles authorities
He also has ten fingers and two thumbs due to a condition known as polydactyly, the Sun reported.
A source told the newspaper: “He’s the modern day Long John Silver. When you think of pirates you think of peg legs, not excessive fingers and toes, but the rumours proved to be true!”

When I first read the title, I thought he had twelve toes on 1 foot. He also has a hand jive thing going as well.

It must had been very interesting for him when he was growing up.

    He can count out a dozen more efficiently. I hope there isn't a man named Inigo Montoya looking for him!
