Finger Nails

[dr_mabeuse]

Today's urgent non-sequitur authorial issue: Do your finger nails grow faster when you type a lot?

Mine seem to. I've heard pianists say the same thing: that playing a lot makes their nails grow faster.

Question number 2: Does having to write yourself out of a desperate plot impasse make you suddenly curious about junk like this?

Answering yes to question two. I don't think I need to answer question one now.

Doc, rest.

By the way, with referrence to "mine seem to" in that quote up there- have you actually measured??

 

[OldnotDead]

Dr. M.

I won't even do the google 'research' on this one. Exercise has been very well documented to be a stimulant to bone mass increase. I would assume the same things that stimulate additional calcium build up in the bones, would have a similar effect on the nails.

Dear Dr M,
1. No. You just notice them more.
2. Yes, definitely.
Authoritatively,

Ps. Fingernail tissue is mainly keratin. This is a protein derivative, and it's doubtful that calcium would have much to do with its production.
Pps. It's difficult to conceive of an exercise which would stimulate the nail bed, where nail growth occurs. If anyone would know, though, it's Dr M. He's the one who wrote the story in which small penis weights were used to induce schlongular hypertrophy.

Perhaps the increased circulation aids in growth.

DrM.....my nails seem to grow fast anyway...and i am a bit of a net addict so i type every day..so really i can't say i ever see any difference in how quick they grow.


and yes..I think you need to rest a bit too *LOL*

schlongular
Now, there's a word I don't use half as much as I should.


To Dr's question: I dunno, I tend to bite them down till they bleed while I'm writing stuff.

/Ice - down at the elbows, due to NaNo.

Doc,

It seems to me that you should see this article about stimulating fingernail health during chemotherapy.

Then read that one about what one might do with fingernails AFTER you finished growing, and wearing them.

 

[Sabledrake]

Dunno about my fingernails, but I do feel that all the typing is the reason why my fingers are the only slender part of my body

Who cares about slender? Like when you go to the hairdresser and they say "Your hair is thinning." Who wants fat hair?

Question 2: yes. Haha.

Question 1: Dunno about growing, but I know my fingernails, especially my thumbnail are much stronger due to my guitar playing.

Goodgod, Gauche. Not that it's needed, but that's proof you're not a girly.

I've been a pianist for...well, lets just say more years than I care to admit to. *wink* And I don't know about faster growth, but they are much stronger than other folks I know who don't play. I actually have to cut my nails regularly because they don't break. Which my more "girly" friends hate, because they can't grow theirs for beans. Not that I would point that out to them or anything.... *evil grin*

Ok got it.

increased circulation of the fingers by exercise.
Strengthening by Use preventing less breakage.
More Frequent Notice of them.
The Rubbing of the keyboard matter to the ends of them fusing with.
the Constant Pointing down of them adding to gravitational Pull of them while typing.
and the Close proximity of the Monitors electromagnetic Field blocking more Cosmic rays from them deteriorating them.
Are you using a Mineral based Lubricant while reading your Erotic stories?

Is that considered Mineral based???

[gauchecritic]

I don't know about minerals but plenty of hormones, which are good for breast developement, or so I'm told, and acne.

How Can You Tell?

I would have thought that the faster and harder the Doctor wrote, that the sheer effort of maintaining the "intensity" and "motivation" necessary to attain and keep the proper level of lewdness would result in those nails being worn down to nubs, and staying that way.

After all, it is a well known fact that he cannot write more than a paragraph without succumbing to his own words and doing what he is trying to get his readers to do.

Such a beast. But we still like him.
