Seriously, I don't know how, or what even cracks, but I can crack my chest like a knuckle. Last I checked, there weren't really any joints in your ribcage...but it's weird...like if I'm puffing out my chest stretching, it'll crack sometimes. Is this weird?:confused:
 
my neck creaks and pops like something has been damaged...:D
 
umm seriously, go to the docs, there is something wrong with your breastbone, where there is cartilage. You'd hate to be getting some or lifting something heavy and have a lung fall out. That would really fuck up someones day.
 
actually, I do believe it's possible, if rather wierd. your ribs are connected to your sternum by cartilidge, and cartlidge can have air pokets where gasses become trapped, and when you stretch, you can release that gas, which is what gives the popping sound.
 
I figured that's what it probably was...it's just like when you crack your back, only in front. If anything, it hurts a bit before I crack it now. Good to know that I'm just a freak.:)
 
I would mention it to a doctor next time your in. That is pretty weird, and if something cracks the wrong way, it could be bad. I know broken ribs hurt like hell.
 
I pretty much sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies in the morning, but never the chest....
hmmm interesting
