[QUOTE=tdn] Since I did a simulpost, here’s a different one: Put your pinky fingers in your mouth, and bite down on the fingernails. Not just the nails, include some flesh and bone. Bite right in the middle of the joints. Come, on, really bite. Hard. Cause yourself some serious pain. Harder. Keep this up for a good minute or two. Now take your fingers out of your mouth, curl them into hook shapes, and link them together. Pull. [/QUOTE] Oh no you don’t get me on that one mate. Did that at school many moons ago, fuck me that hurts ---

I heard somewhere that the reason you can’t move your middle and ring fingers independently like that is that they’re both attached to the same tendon, which splits a few inches behind the fingers. Or maybe it was the same muscle, instead of tendon. Something like that. ---
