Excellent catch, terrific eye.
Every time you think it can't get any weirder, it does.

Don't know.
I've changed my mind about the six fingers. I think it is just the fat that bulges out of the side when you clench your fist.
As far the Obama portrait goes, I think the hand is just badly done.

Something to do with mohammad having two right hands.

Neither one of those have six fingers... At very first glance it does look like it, but if you actually put your hands in both of those poses, looking from the same direction as the painter, you'll see something similar and then you have to remember these are fucking paintings, not pictures...

Exactly. Paintings are 100% the way the painter intended them to be. Zero coincidence, legacy, carryover. So, no, it didn't just happen.

A really good painting looks like a photograph. These artists suck.

I'm sure the sperm on Hussein's temple was just an aberration as well.

I have no idea where it comes from, but I've heard several times that Nephilm had 6 fingers/toes and 2 rows of teeth.
I always found that funny because I'm very tall and had two rows of teeth before getting the extras pulled. Good thing I didn't have 6 fingers/toes lol

Heard that about the Nephilm as well.

A six fingered hand is a pop culture demon thing. 6 is the mark of the beast, polydactyl is a well known genetic mutation a lot of writers use it in reference to demons. D&D has a demon that has 6 finger hand symbol, gravity falls used it on the occult book that was the main plot device for the show. Marvel had a team of demons named the 6 finger hand. I'm sure there are more. Looking at these pics I dont see it. Clinton has hand fat, and I think Obama's artist just isnt that good and struggled painting the hand, which I've heard are the hardest part of the body to paint.

Also, describing someone as six fingered was a powerful status indicator of people of a certain level, that they were powerful like the gods.

2 Samuel 21:20
And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was descended from the giants.

The reason American Indians are known for checking ... "How" and raise your hand ... when greeting.

Now that's some sauce, thank you Sons_of_Patriarchy!
I wonder if giant DNA has been collected and is being used in research?

Looks like the fat on your hand under the pinky

But very exaggerated. My hands don't look like that. And abomanation's looks almost alienlike.
