On the topic of mutilated digits, one of my neighbors growing up was a destroyer commander during World War II who survived a kamikaze hit that killed everyone else on the bridge because he was wearing his flak vest and helmet. Talking to him a while ago, I noticed he was missing part of a finger. I asked him if that was related to the attack, and he said no, that was from the Battle of the Yamaha; Yamaha being the company that manufactured his lawnmower. He'll be 104 this summer; perhaps the good doctor can comment on the link between missing fingers and longevity.
