No, not the kind we use for hammering wood, but fingernails and toenails...What's their purpose? Any ideas? Thoughts? Comments? I was in the bath trimming mine, when it occurred to me I have no idea what purpose they serve, and I consider myself an intelligent person. I thought I'd come here for an answer from some open minds...
If we didn't have nails, there would be coins all over the place because no one would be able to pick them up.
Imagine Trying to Itch Without any Nails...Ooooh... And PlayingGuitar? Opening up a Card or Present... OK...I've Ran Out of Suggestions Already...
if a little flesh is extracted with your fingernails from boyfriends everytime they fuck you, they don't want to have sex all the time
Scratching and picking up coins...I suppose it's a start. Any other birght ideas? I find them terribly inconvenient sometimes, as all they seem to do is trap dirt underneath. That's probably why I'm so peculiar about trimming them often. Can't stand the sight of dirty nails.
I don't know why humans developed fingernails, but it has been proven through scientific method, that humans tend to react most to the sound of fingernails scraping a chalkboard - why, no man can say Hotwater
Hmmm...I'm getting slowly drunk here..Pondering is something I could do all day. Ahhh...Ummm...I'm gonna take opening things for $300.00 Richard. (Dawson) :rolleyes5
I suppose this idea has a whit of merit to it. I always find it remarkable just how sensitive the fingertips can be. And we all know how sensitive a toe can be, especially in a dark, furnished room.
Sorry to disagree, but my toenail has never offered me any protection from stubbing my toe :H Hotwater
but it does protect the MANY nerve endingsn we have in each toe and finger Primarily they are for protection digging and scratchingn, we would find ways around that without nails still. Sticks and all.
While your probably correct, one would hope after millions of years of evolution the body would design a better mechanism for protection. While I haven't stubbed my toe in months, I remember the last time and it still hurts just thinking about it Hotwater
Why? They do a sufficient job, and toe-stubbing doesn't affect your lifespan or ability to procreate, therefor it wouldn't be something evolution would bother affecting aside from random mutations, which are more often bad than good. If it aint' broke don't fix it.
Just for that I'm not going to allow you get in on the ground-floor of my new invention It's a patent for a pair of steel-toed slippers, which will revolutionize walking around the house (late at night) in the dark arty: Hotwater
While you may be extremely cute (as your photo indicates) I don't think you've considered all the possibilities of my new invention. For instance if you should happen to run into someone Burglarizing your home late at night. one swift kick where it really counts and it's instant :nopity: Hotwater
