Disguised as Digits: Hand Evolution and Mutant Madness
This morning, WPIX.com out of New York reported on a strange find at nearby Plum Island, involving the dead, decomposing body of what is being called a mutant. This, however, is no “Montauk Monster”; the body is human:
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.
In all likelihood, “long fingers” as described here are probably somewhat less than remarkable, since actual measurements aren’t given along with the scant information the report provides. Until actual photos, coroner’s reports, or at very least, some kind of formal measurements are given, we won’t know for certain how long “very long” actually is. Rest assured, however, that if it is a clothed human body, many of these details won’t be released immediately, as the official investigation ensues.
The next question I have, though it might not be so obvious to some, is “what did the feet look like?”
