Yes Wover, I mentioned Morton's syndrome at the start of this thread, but I understand that the point of the findings on Cornish feet was that MORE than the expected number of Cornish toes showed the longer second toe - even in people WITHOUT Morton's syndrome. For the record my transverse arches,like Animaterra's, are normal but my second toes are longer than my big toes. My first cousin, several members of my extended family, my kids and two of my grandchildren all show the same effect. Their tranverse arches are normal too.
I'm off to the biggest Cornish Festival (outside Cornwall itself) in a few weeks. I'll check on Morton's syndrome verses normal arches in the Cousin Jacks and Jennys there. Might even get The Grand Bard to take off his shoes at the picnic.
Cousin JTT some say it was a round peppermint rock - clearly a "Life-saver"
