[Jillyanne]

I'm off to check my other half's thumbs.

This is factually incorrect.

 

My thumbs are not 4 inches long.

[jeff leopard]

if you stretch your arms out by your side (at 45 degrees to your body), the length from the tips of your fingers on one hand to the other is exactly the same as your height.

 

the length of your forearm is exactly the same length as your foot.

 

the length of my coq is exactly the same as a baby's arm, holding an orange.

That's 90 degrees Jeff. i.e - | - and not \ | / [that's as close an illustration of 45 degees as I could quickly get]

You often see fighters in the UFC with the same hight listed but differing reach. Does this debunk this "fact" or is reach something different?

You have to factor in the shoulder width as the reach measurement's purely arm length, I guess.

[team-saint]

I have more arms than the average.

 

I have more everything than average

My Grandson asked me where poo came from the other day.

 

I explained that food travels down into your stomach, where the good stuff is taken out. What is left travels down the intestine, wher some more good stuff is taken out, eventually all that is left is the bad stuff, which comes out of your bottom. Poo!

 

He stared up at me silently for a moment.

 

"Thank you Grandad, can I ask something else"?

 

"Of course" I said "I am your Grandad and nothing you ask me will either embarass nor shock me" "Is it about reproduction"?

 

"No" he said "We did that last term"

 

"Okay, is it about the universe and whether we are alone"?

 

"No, Grandad, although that does sound quite an interesting idea"

 

"Well, if it's about religion and why people kill and murder each other in the name of religion, you have come to the right person"

 

"No Grandad"

 

"Okay, could it be whether Margaret Thatcher is a ***** and is responsible for ripping the heart out of communities, and is in some people's opinion, responsible for all that is bad in society today"

 

"GRANDAD" he shouted. "SHUT THE **** UP FOR ONE ****ING MINUTE, PLEASE"

 

"Okay nipper, I am sorry, what is it that you would like to ask me"?

 

"Grandad. Where does Tigger come from please"?
