While getting out of bed this morning, I propped myself up with my right arm and apparently leaned too sharply on my hand & wrist. I now have a painful sprain that is making any primate opposable-thumb tool usage very, very painful.

Damn opposable thumbs.

I thought of the selfsame cartoon. And I also thought, well, yeah, opposable thumbs are probably responsible for most of humanity's ills.

does that mean that [livejournal.com profile] bjarvis, at present without opposable thumb, can be The Saviour Of Humanity From All That Ails It?

that should keep him busy and away from the self-abuse

[I understand that pandas have not one but two opposable digits per front paw. so how come humans dominate and pandas just sit around munching bamboo and looking cute? one of life's puzzlements]
