Stewy's probably busy with the Barbies at the moment so I'll jump in.... Dave Allens father threatened to cut off his finger if he didn't stop entertaining himself with his nose, might be why he has half a finger.... Um, I think Gollum bit off Frodo's finger, while, Isildur seemed to have a fettish for Sauron's finger...Oh, and as for lollypop guy, he's missing part of his index finger. And, Galileo's finger is now on display at the Museo di Storia del Scienza in Italy. May 09 05, 6:58 PM

Thanks Peasy. Dave Allen seemed to have a different story about the loss of his finger every time he was asked. Daryl Hannah and James Doohan (Star Trek's Scottie) are other nine-fingered people. May 10 05, 1:27 AM

Sad to say, Dave Allen died a couple of months ago. There's a brief obituary here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/news/obituary/0,12723,1436095,00.html May 10 05, 5:05 AM
