And for those among you who thought that toe length and nobility were
incongruous, allow me to point out that the Romans did indeed consider a
longer second toe to be a noble trait.  Perhaps it was actually
hereditary among the ruling class.  There may well be a word that covers
these two concepts, but if there is, I've forgotten it.  I will note,
however, that I first learned of this when I was in high school, and the
first person I noticed who had a longer second toe was the president of
my class (who I did not care for one bit, incidentally).
