    My left pinky is 2 1/2 inches.

    The large part of my hand is essentially a square measuring 3 1/2 by 4 inches.

    36 B minus....

    DARN IT!! I thought I'd make it through this thread without taking out a bloody ruler Both of my pinkies are 3" from knuckle to tip. Man, you guys are whacked, lolololol.

    And I'm still chuckling and wondering why I'm getting paid for this...

    Ok I'll play this is kind of fun.

    My pinkie is little only 2 1/2 inches

    From thumb crook to top of middle finger is 6 inches.

    Width of palm at the widest point 3 1/8 in
    Length of palm 4 1/8 in
    Length of longest finger from knuckle 3 1/8
    Total hand length 7 1/4.
    Ankle 9in
    Wrist 6 7/8. Any more and i actually have to find a tape measure which I left at home.

    So I guess I have small hands but have no problem reaching brakes and shifters on my guys bike.

    This thread cracks me up!

    You know, there ought to be a way to harness all this measuring activity for the good of humanity, but I can't think of a thing...

    How about this?

    My right ear sticks out 20mm from my head, and my left ear sticks out 19mm.

    My club foot measures 21.4 cm long, by 10.3 cm wide at the ball, with a 1.6 cm high arch. That's opposed to my normal foot, which measures 24.1 cm long, 9.5 cm wide, with a 1.2 cm arch.

    I'm glad I got that kind of asymmetry in my feet instead of my ears!

    Going metric...

    Left pinkie: 57mm.
    Right pinkie: 59mm.
    Both middle fingers: 78mm.
    Crook of elbow to tip of middle finger: ~39.5cm (I've only got a 15cm ruler).
    Length of longest current chainring tattoo: 7.3cm (gotta clean my drivetrain, or at least take more care when pulled over at the ATM).

    Yes, you can add me to the list of the easily entertained...

    It's Baaaaaack!

    If I hold my hand in the Vulcan handsign (Live Long...blah, blah) it is 7 centimeters from middle fingertip to ring fingertip.

    Hey! Me too!

    Should I bother telling myself that I could have resisted measuring that if the ruler hadn't been right there next to me?

    Oooooo! Good one! Mine is 8.5 cm. I guess I'd be long limbed for a Vulcan.
