Ah yes... meant to add that yes, the feet were designed to double as hands (which is why I used "finger" names for the toes). If figure they might be "right handed" or "left handed" (or footed), just like we are. One hand/foot would be favored for manipulation, the other would be used for support (the toes can spread out so there at equal angles). And the tongue could be prehensile as well, which could lead to some interesting martial arts. But there are challenges to designing even the simplist tools. Like, for example, something as basic as hammer and nail. What if Cring wanted to nail something up on a wall? How would he hold the nail in place? I've thought of a couple of approaches, but how about I might throw it out as an informal challenge. Any takers? --Terri
