I was madly in love with Susannah Hoffs...she has some of the most beautiful, captivating eyes God ever stuck in a skull. Saw her on TV within the past year or so...she has held up exceptionally well!

Thanks decimon. A sandal with a prosthetic big toe, dating from the Late Kingdom period I think, was found about ten year ago, now I'd better read your article link to see if it's mentioned. :')

Wow, it's a file from December 2000. Actually, two. And both links worked: To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

It’s from The Maltese Falcon. The character is Joel Cairo. He’s holding a cane.

interesting that prosthetic makers had found a toe-hold in the medical marketplace thousands of years ago.

probably kept an eye out for good prospects, eh?

Probably this example came about because of a case of Tolio.
