  1. Tsuchi says:

    Having three hands would be a WIN imo.

    • jack mehoff says:

      Just think about the fun you could have…

      *masturbates*

      *4-way!*

    • fluffy the fish says:

      Oh man.. Think of all the things you could do with a third hand! Think of all the nose picking that would go on while you’re doing other two-handed stuff!

    • Vagabond says:

      You see, what the artist did here was to illustrate the theory of quantum duality. You see, the man is so engaged with her… >> eyes… that he is ignoring the state of her hands and allowing them to exist in what is know as a cloud of potential and granting it the ability to simultaneously exist in two places at once.

      Once he’s able to observe her hand, the wave form will collapse, forcing them to stabilize into one singular state. The fact that this can be achieved while HOLDING one of the possible hands only speaks for just how captivating her clea–er, eyes… are <<

    • This isn’t a fail. The hand on the lower left is the woman’s hand resting on her thigh, and we can all see the one she’s leaning on. The one her waist is obviously the man’s.

      • tater says:

        yea except one of his handz is behind her.. on her arm.. nd the other is holding one of her 3 handz.. so either she has 3 handz or he does..

    • Rooshooter says:

      How about the fact that the dude is a Templar Knight? You know, warrior monks, no nookie allowed…? That would be an epic fail in my eyes.

    • Brad says:

      a chick with more hands can do more things and be…useful ;)

    • jewbry says:

      what nobody’s ever seen a vaginal hand?! they are very rare and usually only seen in romance novels, but if you ever come across one, grab on and hold on tight! Never let go!!!!

  2. Thaluikhain says:

    People discriminating against mutants…it’s not his fault if he worked at Three Mile Island when th-

    Oops, sorry, should be saying:

    “First!”

  3. FipZ says:

    good find

  4. IngusJinx says:

    If only she lived on Mars around the time of Total Recall

  5. Vagabond says:

    …huh… she looks fun >>

  6. bob says:

    A little odd, I wonder how the artist (if you could call him/her that) ended up doing that?

    • Vagabond says:

      The artist’s eyes were focused elsewhere for most of the time ><

    • Gothenem says:

      The other hand was probably added later by someone else at the request of the publisher. (The hand being held looks like it was added in later – they probably felt it would be better, and didn’t want to pay for a new picture to be made, so they altered this one.)

    • Rooster says:

      actually, it was intentional
      when turning magazine pages quickly,
      stuff like this subconsciously catches your attention,
      thus successfully sending out advertisements subliminally

      its still hilarious though xD

      • Mangledmonkey says:

        Rooster is right. This is thoroughly intentional as a marketing strategy, and is actually very well done at that.

        When I look at the image I ignore the man and only pay attention to the attractive woman with her arm sensually framing her slender figure and appealing to my masculine desires, gaining my interest in the book.

        However, a woman may more commonly see the relationship between the man and the woman posed by the holding of hands, which most men would overlook, and the woman might create her own story and connection to that presentation and the associated desires, which would then help establish her interest in purchasing the book.

        It’s marketing that, taken in a quick glance, is made to appeal to both sexes and types of thought.

  7. ForTheLolz says:

    I predict the sound of 1000 voices rising in a chorus of, “That’s photo-shopped.” They always do, don’t they?

    • TMI Service says:

      Maybe not this time.
      .
      The author makes fun of the notoriety she has received because of the cover art goof at wwwDOTchristinadodd.com/castles.php .
      .
      The book is Castles in the Air,” by Christina Dodd. The publishers have since reissued the book with a different cover, which featuring just a castle … and no people … and no requirement to figure out how many hands they are supposed to have.

    • Lunchbox says:

      People can no longer cover their eyes
      If this disturbs you then walk away
      You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of
      Ten Thousand (photoshopped) fists in the air

  8. Wurzelmann says:

    This is just hilarious! Thanks for this great pic!

  9. Bo says:

    The artist must have been on something, surely. How about some absynth?

  10. Tim says:

    Lol the artist stuffed up old skool

  11. fake loz says:

    Three-armed maidens …kinky

  12. random says:

    Wouldn’t she be better at pleasing(sp?) that dude with 3 hands?

  13. burger says:

    Three-armed maidens!!
    *Masturbates*

  14. Peema says:

    Nope, mutant lobster claw hand for him it is.

  15. DerDickePeter says:

    teenage super mutant ninja turtles

  16. Dan says:

    On the other hand perhaps the hand that the gendleman is holding and the hand on her left shoulder are actually from a small child that she inadvertently sat on.

    On the other other hand maybe John Cleese is behind her in a hilarious skit where he acts as her arms, however one of her real arms snuck out and no one noticed.

  17. TigerEye says:

    Um she only has two hands in this picture. The coloring near her leg is the him of her dress. the question is though how is she wearing the dress?

  18. soulbut says:

    i dont want to be rude but this is no fail there are 4 hands in whole pic but they are yust misplaced we men got ouer boobs misplaced they got dawn alot so stand up for your right mutants whaaaaaa

  19. Francis Herman says:

    “She’s a witch! Burn ‘er!”

  20. Nocato says:

    It’s not 3-handed woman for god’s sake! Look closely… he’s holding a hand, that reaches from somewhere under the woman…

    • Fiddlesticks says:

      Seeing as how there’s no source for the hand and since the two are looking at each other there’s no reason to think that the objective isn’t holding one of her seemingly 3 hands.

      Seriously, is this so hard to figure out?

  21. neon says:

    And it looks like the guy has a six-fingered hand.

    ….I’m glad the freaks found someone to love. Always nice to see that.

  22. horns_junkie says:

    beat me by a minute!

    FAIL on me

  23. thepowerofblue says:

    This reminds me of this one scene from the Naked Gun movies where the female lead goes to slap Leslie Nielsen, but he catches her hand at the wrist. She tries again with the other hand, but he catches that too. Then he’s surprised by a third hand which successfully slaps him.

  24. killskeptics says:

    she doesn’t have 3 hands. He’s holding the hand of some other maiden whom he chopped her hand off of. See, he’s in a knight’s armor..and he must have a sword, dagger or even a big battle axe. That or it’s all that is left of her sister’s hand after the dragon ate her in a bite…and he’s showing her this hand to prove she is toast..so he can now ask for HER hand in marriage…I have to hand it to this one.

  25. vervain says:

    Well, he seems to be some sort of knight, so perhaps he simply forgot to put down the severed hand of his slaughtered enemy prior to hugging his maiden?

  26. Tiamat says:

    I’d still do her. Heck, I’d do her because!

  27. Dave says:

    The real question here, is where is the 4th?

  28. Shay says:

    Actually, It’s an old artist technique used to attract the attention of the person looking at it, because most people only look at stuff like that for about 30 seconds and move on. Your brain realizes something isn’t right with the picture, even when you don’t and it makes you remember the title and picture when you don’t know why. In alot of old pictures and magazines there was always something different or odd about them to make you remember.

    • Bo says:

      You just spoiled everything. That’ll be Hell for you!
      A what the F U C K, hail your intelligent remark!

    • TMI Service says:

      Bank robbers will sometimes wear a somewhat outlandish or brightly colored accessory or article of clothing, so that when witnesses are later asked to describe them, the witnesses won’t remember much of any thing else.

  29. nursie says:

    the obvious answer is there is a menage a troi here and we just dont see the rest of the 3rd person….

    • Tom Trifik says:

      True… There is a menage a troi here.

      The Novel way he’s kneeling easily allows for a 3rd Person to be giving him Singular attention.

      Also, the heroine’s smile and the way her hips are turned suggests where the 6th hand might be busy.

  30. DHawk says:

    I bet she had the ‘upper hand’ at learning to count in Kindergarten.

  31. Bo says:

    Is it just me or does he have 2 hands coming out of his sleeve?
    Look where the maiden’s hand is being held, then look at the sleeve… her hand is coming out of the sleeve!
    So it’s not a 3-handed WOMAN Fail, it’s a 3-handed man sharing 2 sleeves fail!
    or a fail from me… you pick.

  32. Sorsha says:

    Mutants need love and romance too.

    Or sometimes three.

  33. kannadzuki says:

    I love following both Fail Blog and Photoshop Disasters, and doing so just got easier, it seems.

  34. Amy S. says:

    I *SO* thought this was photoshopped, so I went on amazon.com to look it up… no luck… Finally, I found this website where the author talks about how this all happened, and how she used the error to further her fame…

    http://www.christinadodd.com/castles.php

  35. eyedropper says:

    I think the guy have 6 fingers !!!

  36. ilikenothing says:

    with 3 hands you could steal a lot of shit

  37. Jen says:

    Hand Job anyone?

  38. mr s.a.u.s.a.g.e says:

    COULD IT BE???/// O-M-G!!!!111 PFOTOSHOPPPPPPPPEDDDD!!!!!!!!11111+norwegianlesbians+shift

  39. Tartsonawire says:

    No, it’s not PhotoShopped. I actually own this book. My aunt bought it for me when I was a kid (don’t ask, lol) and had the author autograph it at some fair she was at. Never have read it, though. Maybe I should ;)

  40. Cardinal Smurf says:

    But, has anyone here actually *read* the book? Perhaps in the story she really has 3 hands. What other superfluous appendages might she be endowed with I wonder….

    Mmmmm….yesss……

  41. Sally says:

    Wouldn’t it be Two Hand Fail? Or Three Hand Win?
    ‘Cause she certainly doesn’t seem to fail at having three hands.

  42. ShouldBeDoingSomethingElse says:

    On the one hand, maybe this was an honest mistake.

    On the other hand, maybe it was a private joke by the artist.

    And on the OTHER hand ….

  43. aeleb says:

    if they could attach an extra arm (or even 2) to me, i would be all about that. so useful. but only if they were robot arms (star-wars bio-mech style),

  44. badsqwerl says:

    Wait, I thought it’s the guy that’s supposed to be “handsy”…

  45. John Doe says:

    Hey! Enough with the jokes already! I have three hands and it’s not nearly as romatic as the illustration would imply. The problem is that my third hand stick out of the top of my head and makes me look a bit like a rooster. You try picking up girls with an appendage like that!

  46. Garbledina says:

    Isn’t it possible that the guy is holding a SEPERATE severed hand! dun dun dun! The plot thickens…

    • Biff says:

      That is EXACTLY it! If you read the book, one of the greatest ever written btw, you’ll learn that she used to have a lesbian lover. She tells her current male lover that she loves him dearly and doesn’t regret leaving her female lover at all… but she does miss one thing. The feel of her former loves hand caressing her to orgasm. So being the chivalrous stud that he is, he sets out to please his women by tracking down and killing her former girlfriend. He thens severs the womans arm and brings it back to his lover so that she may pleasure herself with it. And it’s a true story too.

      • Tom Trifik says:

        YES! Absolutely TRUE!

        It happened down here in Louisiana right after the War of 1812. But what you didn’t say, and probably didn’t know, is that her lover was a Creole Black Magic Woman and the arm lived on for decades giving pleasure to all within its reach.

  47. Filthy says:

    “She’s a Witch!”

    … Actually, that’s kind of hot.

  48. - says:

    Why does he have 5 fingers and some extra thumbs?
    His hand, the one holding hers, looks a bit ‘big’?

  49. Applepie says:

    great ripoff. click on my name to view original link.

  50. jt4breakfast says:

    HOW did they make this mistake? It’s so obvious! Didn’t the artist know how many hands he’s created? Dumbo . . .

  51. KravinMoorehead says:

    He would be great at a rave with glowsticks! Cept that chain mail is heavy and outdated.

  52. Riss says:

    Oh, I’ve read that. She really has three hands.

  53. ReM says:

    Thats actualy a marketing trick, they do that to make you remember it because you subconsiously know something is wrong. I mean, pay attention to disney movies, they put PORN in it and you dont notice

    • fuzz on the concept says:

      This is actually a subliminal message put there on purpose. Advertisers put unusual or deformaties into adverts because people usually just have a glance or a few seconds look at an advert, and your sub concionse registers there was something wrong with the image and makes you remember the brand name or whatever but you dont realise, its was used alot…

  55. Gundam Hugger says:

    So this why I kept seeing people saying “Selling rune 3h!” on Runescape when I used to play… >_>

  56. matty says:

    way more than 10 fingers on the 2 hands that’re touching

  57. PharaohKatt says:

    I’m more worried about his 8 fingers (9 if you include the thumb) on one hand.

  58. Ha says:

    This is actually a form of subliminal advertisement that is now illegal.

    Anyone know how old this is?

  59. Ari says:

    THERE IS NO FAIL, there is someone behind her holding her up. The guy is holding someone else’s hand… It’s supposed to take brains to notice.

  60. This was my favorite book that I ever encountered in my many years working at a bookstore. Unfortunately, that cover is now out of print and they have replaced it with a much less hand- version.

    I renamed it a few years back:
    http://heatheranderic.org/Silly/Arms.jpg

  61. hunter says:

    look its just her arm ok? i dont see another hand.

  62. Kate says:

    Actually, this is a technique that advertisers use. If they add an extra limb or something, your eye doesn’t notice it right away but your brain understands that something is wrong. Then, the image stays in your brain and the advertising is effective. :)

  63. The third hand is hers…this is a win for not failblog…

  64. Actually, I suspect this could be the sign of artwork theft. A publisher rips off another artists work and photoshops it to fit their needs. Inevitably parts of the original that don’t quite fit are accidently left behind.

  65. YOUR FACE! says:

    THRE HANDS?!?!?!
    lolz

  66. Uniju says:

    Nintendo 64, anyone?

  67. Reed says:

    There is only 2 hands that I see

  68. Trudy says:

    Advertisers do that on purpose all the time. They want you to look at the ad a little longer without knowing why its catching your attention.

  69. mstoked says:

    How often I have wished for a third hand. Maybe that is why he loves her so much. She would be great to have around the house.

  70. MuEpsilonGamma says:

    this was done on purpose. it’s called subliminal messaging. made you look twice, didn’t it? now you’ll remember the title of the book and, if he’s lucky, the author’s name. you might buy more of his books, and then he’ll make more money. if it didn’t work, you’re smooooooooooth.

  71. john says:

    Anyone notice that he has 5 fingers on his hand-not counting his thumb?
