RANDOM THUNKS (6)

Michael Edwards

 

 

Why do nails grow on the end of each toe?

What is the reason – does anyone know?

It would be a lot easier if they grew on the knees

where the clippers could reach them with consummate ease.

      Thanks for a little light entertainment on MPS Uncle Mike ! We are accused of being over scienctific and scarmongering about CLIMATE CHANGE ! If you read BILL BRYSONS latest book on Human Anatomy & Physiology # you will learn that NAILS (in toes and feet) are to protect both sets of digits ! Finger tips are very tactile - sensitive & (of necessity soft) If we didnt have FINGER NAILS our sensitive finger tips would easily get damaged. The same it true for feet ! Before we covered our feet with SOCKS & SHOES our toe tips were sensitive to what we were treading in ! They also warned us if the ground was dangerous. The TOE NAILS were to protect the sensitive TOE TIPS from damage like finger nails ! Many people still walk barefooted and live bare handed ! Animals have claws & hooves etc which serve a number of very important ZOOLOGICAL purposes epecially as many are Arboreal Brachiators (and most Birds live in Trees) unlike us HUMANS who are Bipedal Locomotors ~ OK !

      Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
      Love Angela & Brian ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก
