Isn't it weird that we have exactly five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot.

Yes but thats a genetic mutation I think
Having any fingers at all is a genetic mutation, thats how evolution works, it mutates, and if the mutation works well enough, it gets passed on.
The only difference between you and a genetic mutation is that your ancestors were better at breeding.
Is that a burn? I dont know if Im being insulted here and I dont know how to react.
It's a burn and also true. If a genetic mutation becomes prevalent enough, it's no longer really considered to be a "mutation".
Yeah, "mutation" is like "terrorist". No one calls you they of you win.
Come on now. No need to call their grandma a whore.
It’s actually the dominant gene. Having 5 is recessive.
Not a mutation, was a pre-order perk.
