Measurements

[Veronica]

Whenever someone posts their measurement for a body part I have to go measure mine.

My left pinky is 2 and 7/8 of an inch.

Mine's 2 1/4 (and that's about the only thing that isn't too depressing to measure right now )

The circumference of my kneecap is 15 inches.

The distance from the crook of my thumb (where the thumb joins the hand) to my middle finger is 13 cm. If a woman's pelvis is smaller than 12 cm from the symphysis pubis to the sacral promentory, she may have trouble getting the baby out. We actually measure our hands in midwifery school. So, as long I can't touch somebody's sacral promentory, she's good to go!

[Veronica]

I don't think I can measure that.

My belly button is 15/16 of an inch though.

It's cool that you have big hands and feet Sarah, because you're tall. You'd look funny with itty bitty hands and probably fall over if you had tiny feet. Or we'd have to cut off some inches to make it work. And I think that would hurt.

The base of my nose is an an inch and 3/4.

You people are just WEIRD!!

I have huge hands. My left hand, from the closest wrinkle to my hand on my wrist to the top of my middle finger is 7 1/2 inches. They match my size 11 feet.

And on feet - I have just spent 40 minutes trying to find SOMEONE who makes women's cycling shoes in a size 11. All women's cycling shoes seem to stop at 10 1/2 at the max (size 42 - 43). The men's equivalents are loose in the heel. AARRGH. My 4 year old Northwaves are about to give up on me. (I am going to try Sidi narrow mens to see.)

I guess I should be grateful Bill is not home tonight.

THANK YOU!

My thumbnail is 9/16th of an inch.

My right little piggie is 1 1/2"

My nose from the bridge to the tip is 1 3/4"

Thanks for making me laugh.

My hand stretched out tip of the little finger to the tip of the thumb = 8". Comes in very useful when furniture shopping.

"They" always say that proportionally your wingspan (tip of the left fingers to tip of the right fingers) is the same as your height. Ht = 63.5". Wingspan = 66. Does that prove I'm descended from monkeys?

Heh, this is too funny!

My left nipple is 9/16" wide. The right one is 1/2". There's nothing quite like body piercings to make you realize how asymmetrical you are!

[Veronica]

The longest hair on my head is 10 3/8".

How do you KNOW it is the longest??? Does it hang down farther than the rest????

I get this feeling you are REALLY ready for a vacation, V!

[SadieKate]

I'm picturing V sitting her front of her class making all these measurements.

Now, Dianyla . . . .I'm just trying not to picture that at all.
