Hand

what can i say i have my own language...i have alot of special talents like finger fuckin, titty twistin, clitorial stimuation, and im real good at tellin people to fuck off, just to name a few......and when i smack your ass my mark will be left for all to see for weeks.....i can do it all theres not one thing that i am not used for so be kind to the delivery man its not his fault he cant read......so get ready b/c the hand is coming to fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...So until we meet ladies jam out with your clam out and guys rock out with your cock out!!!!oh ya i forgot all you people out there using me to play pocket pool .....its really startin to piss me off thats your first warning!---------------------------------------------------- ------------ ok here are some facts about me that i bet you fuckers didnt know:The human hand consists of the wrist, palm, four fingers, and thumb. In humans and other primates, the thumb is opposable, i.e., it can be moved into a position opposite to the other four digits. Opposable thumbs make possible precise movements such as grasping small objects. In vertebrates other than humans, the primary function of the hand is locomotion; the human hand, due to the evolutionary development of bipedalism, is freed for manipulative tasks -------------------------------Each hand contains (plus or minus... everyone is different, and everyone counts these things differently...) 29 major and minor bones (many people have a few more). 29 major joints. At least 123 named ligaments. 34 muscles which move the fingers and thumb: 17 in the palm of the hand, and 18 in the forearm. 48 named nerves: 3 major nerves. 24 named sensory branches. 21 named muscular branches. 30 named arteries and nearly as many smaller named branches. ----------------------------The muscles which power the fingers are strong - strong enough for some people to climb vertical surfaces supporting their entire weight at times by a few fingertips. The muscles which accomplish this feat are stronger than you might imagine, for the biomechanics of the hand require that the force generated by the muscles which bend the fingertips must be at least four times the pressure which is produced at the fingertips. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------- The thumb is controlled by 9 individual muscles, which are controlled by all 3 major hand nerves And moves in such a complex fashion that there are 6 separate descriptive terms just for particular directions of movement of one thumb joint - the basal joint, at the base of the thumb. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- We work our fingers by remote control. Of course, in one sense, we work all of our moving body parts by remote control - the control center is our brain. However, the fingers are special, because there are no muscles inside the fingers. The muscles which bend the finger joints are located in the palm and up in the mid forearm, and are connected to the finger bones by tendons, which pull on and move the fingers like the strings of a marionette. ------------------------------------------------------ When the hand is kept wet, the skin of the palm wrinkles. Why? The exact mechanism is not known, but it is clearly controlled by nerves. When the nerve which supplies feeling to an area of skin on the palm is cut, that area of skin not only becomes numb, loses its ability to wrinkle when wet. It also loses the the ability to sweat. ------------------------------------ The wrinkles on the back of the finger knuckles are actually dimples, and mark areas where the skin is attached to the tendon beneath the skin. Finger joints only have wrinkles and creases if the joint moves. If a finger joint stops moving, the creases eventually flatten out. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------ Contrary to popular opinion, humans - homo sapiens - are not the only primates posessing opposable thumbs. Chimanzees and monkees can oppose the thumb to the index digit. What makes the human hand unique in the animal kingdom is the ability of the small and ring fingers to rotate across the palm to meet the thumb, owing to a unique flexibility of the carpometacarpal joints of these fingers, down in the middle of the palm. This is referred to as "ulnar opposition" and adds unparalleled grip, grasp, and torque capability to the human hand. This feature developed after the time of Lucy, a direct human ancestor, who lived about 3.2 million years ago. -------------------------------------------------------- Do fingernails have feeling? No, but the fingernail extends deep beneath and behind the skin of the cuticle, and nerves on the back of the finger around the cuticle sense forces transmitted from the tip of the fingernail. The brain integrates the sensations from the nerves of both the fingertip pad and cuticle to give a complex enhanced perception of pressure and shear at the fingertips. Loss of a fingernail changes the feeling on the palm side of the fingertip. --------------------------------------------------- A number of the English words which describe parts of the hand are ancient, with origins buried in the roots of language itself, suggesting a basic relationship between the development of the hand and the development of language. ---------------------------------------------------------- The skin on the palm side of the hand and fingers is unique for these reasons and more: No hair (the medical term is glabrous). Fingerprints. Usually neither color nor the ability to tan. Tough and durable, yet sensitive. Anchored down to the bones beneath through an intermediate layer of fascia. This arrangement keeps the skin of the palm from sliding around like a rubber glove when we use our hands to grip and twist. In some people, this layer of fascia shrinks and thickens, leading to Dupuytren's disease. ---------------------------------------------------------- Fingers are never perfectly straight. Usually, the index, ring and small finger each curve sideways slightly toward the middle finger, and the middle finger may curve toward either side. The finger bones are straight on the back side, but curved on the palm side. When we bend our fingers into a fist, the finger bones produce a shape similar to a circle in a square, round on the inside, square on the outside. When we make a fist, the fingertips curve through a spiral, not a circle. This is because the lengths of the finger bones are related in a way seen often in naturally occuring spirals. These spirals in turn relate to a mathematical series of numbers discovered by Fibonacci in 1202. In this series, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...and so on. The lengths of the finger bones approximate the ratio of the Fibonacci numbers 2, 3, 5, and 8. ---------------------------------------- Some definitions of the word "Hand": ------------------------------------ verb: place into the hands or custody of -------------------------------------- noun: ability ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- noun: a card player in a game of bridge ------------------------------------- noun: a hired laborer on a farm or ranch ------------------------------------ noun: a member of the crew of a ship ------------------------------------- noun: a position given by its location to the side of an object ------------------ noun: a rotating pointer on the face of a timepiece -------------------- noun: a round of applause to signify approval -------------------------------- noun: a unit of length equal to 4 inches; used in measuring horses ------- noun: one of two sides of an issue --------------------------------- noun: physical assistance ------------------------------------------------------------ noun: something written by hand -------------------------------------------- noun: terminal part of the forelimb in certain vertebrates (e.g. apes or kangaroos): "the kangaroo's forearms seem undeveloped but the powerful five-fingered hands are skilled at feinting and clouting"- Springfield (Mass.)

It consists in "reading character" in the wrinkles made by closing the hand. The pretence is not altogether false; character can really be read very accurately in this way, for the wrinkles in every hand submitted plainly spell the word "dupe." The imposture consists in not reading it aloud.
