However, you know, this is Gravity Falls. Maybe it was a mutation of some sort that they figured out how to remove (there have been physical mutations in the show before, i.e. Octavia)

I'm no closer to answers then anyone else, but yeah. The octavian connection is actually a good one, I never thought of that.

This concurs with my theory I put forward earlier - if each of the journals had a different author (stanley, McGucket and Stanford), then there are only two author symbols on the wheel. The last symbol, the six fingered hand, represents McGucket (the one with six fingers).

Case closed. Not case closed yet. We still need an explanation of who the hand is and why. Why is McGucket the hand? Also, for all we know, there is only one author. It's a good idea, and I don't doubt the possibility, but there still seem to be a few problems with it so we can;t count it as fact just yet.
