Deformities

A random side note: The Incandenza children seem to possess various physical deformities. Mario has an oversized skull, Orin has an enlarged arm/leg and there's a subtle reference to Hal's disability when he places "the good leg" into his sweatpants first while getting dressed. And yet, despite these handicaps, both Hal and Orin excel at sports.

Birth defects? The result of too many steroids in the breakfast cereal?
