An extra thumb.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Designed by Dani Clode, a researcher at Cambridge's Plasticity Lab, "The Third Thumb" is a nifty little 3D-printed device that can apparently be used to augment any hand.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>In decidedly British fashion, one example provided is the third thumb being used to grasp a dainty cup of tea, freeing up the real thumb and fingers to stir it with a spoon at the same time.
