My Spidey Sense Is Tingling!

[Lord J Esq]

I beg your pardon?

You heard me. Word origins should not influence how a person feels about a word today, since said words will mean different things in our own society.

Sure, dexterity might have originated from a word meaning right hand, but it doesn't mean that in English and never really has. Same thing with sinister and left hand. They originated from different languages and we use them to mean different things today.

Besides, left handed or right, it's what you do with your hand that matters. "Judge not by the dominant hand but by the context of its use!"

I had previously considered you to be a man of some potential, but apparently your mind has been deluded by the jackbooted minions of DOFT. I don't know who you think you are, or why you so cavalierly dismiss the antisinistral bigotry that poisons our world at every turn, but I do know that your simple-minded worship of logic lacks all color and any trace of character, and, thus, is devoid of wisdom altogether.

You are the caricature of intellectual obliviousness that makes life harder for us genuine people of reason. May your right-handed smugness hereafter bring you the companionship that honorable people shall not!

I really hope this is meant facetiously, because that's how I meant my own posts.

I also hope it's facetious because I couldn't stop laughing.

My word, what's happened to my stupid thread?!?

Anyways, it seems as though I've come across the Marvel equivelent of the Compendium while searching for another mutant with a heightened luck factor (which I was almost sure there was one)...The Marvel Directory

If I was left-handed, I'd force myself to become Japanese somehow...or something...Instead, I'll settle for being masturbatorially ambidextrous.

The link doesn't come up, but you mean Longshot? That guy's cool. Actually, I don't know much about comic books (and don't generally like them, though they're fun light reading if one has nothing else to do), but I've seen a few with him. I don't wager you have a glowing eye, do you?

[V_Translanka]

Oh, I put quotes in the link, it should work now...And...well, I don't THINK it glows...but I find it hard to look at my eye most times...Now THAT'D be a mutant power! (called looking in the mirror)

Yeah, I was looking for someone besides Longshot (since I already mentioned him)...

Anyways, I don't see the problem with having three fingers...I mean, Nightcrawler seems to get along fine with two...not to mention our whole stupid pinky & ring finger thing. If you're going to have two seperate fingers, why not have them actually BE seperate instead of functioning like a pair of deformed conjoined twins?

[Radical_Dreamer]

V_T, place your arm on a flat surface, hand down, palm down. Fold your middle finger such that the middle segment is flat on the surface, along with your palm, and the palm side of the rest of your fingers. Put a little pressure on your middle finger. Not a lot, but you should be able to feel it. Now, without moving the rest of your hand, raise your ring finger.

Which two fingers are a deformed pair of conjoined twins?

Nothing happens...

[V_Translanka]

I think he must mean the part of your middle finger that's in your hand...If you do that then you can tell that the ring finger is also linked to the middle finger...

Twins...Triplets...whatever R_D...

[Kyronea]

Uh...the ring finger is not connected to the pinky in that sense unless you have a screwed up hand.

[V_Translanka]

Well, I DO use the word deformed...but, no, I didn't mean those two like that...I just knew that there was all sorts of freakiness going on about the ring finger...
