I'm just going to sound crazy here, but oh well. Do you think that people have a fixation with hands because of their incredibly important role in our lives? One of the first things that a baby discovers is their hands, and they can be entertained for hours by them. It seems that we don't really ever lose this fascination either. I know I'm not the only one to do stupid things with my fingers like bending them in succession and whatnot whenever I'm bored, or sometimes when I first wake up. (I've witnessed others doing the same damn thing, so it's not just me!) Is our fascination with hands a result of the fact that we need them so much that we are easily enthralled with them, or is it just a minor thing that means absolutely nothing? Just curious...
