But what about a fourth thumb? Why stop there. I could make good use of a third arm!

I grew out of my collection of plush monkeys, but I never grew out of wanting a prehensile tail. Oh and hands for feet. And a tree house lol

a few years ago i was thinking about what if mecha hand got really good would i be tempted to chop off one hand and replace it.

then a few days later it dawned on me that i can just have 3-4 arms instead of just 2.

Specialist limbs with tools would be useful, like Inspector Gadget.
