Hands

The typical human hand has 5 fingers, and a typical human has 2 hands. This is not a coincidence, as 2 is an absolutely awesome number. The advantages of having 2 hands are manyfold; we can count to 2 if we use a hand per number, and 10 if we use individual fingers, a nifty progression.

Now, you may wonder what sparked my discussion about hands. The reason is this: in the future, people seem to believe our hands will become a primary form of identification, due to unique ring patterns progressive on the hands called fingerprints. This belief is retarded, because people will just cut off their hands and replace them with new ones, making it required either to have a database of everyone's hands, which people would argue against due to privacy concerns, or the government to whine about not having that awesome database.. A huge market for black market hands will spring up. People will try to convict them, but even with the suspiciousness of replacing one's hands, that's not actually evidence of a crime, unless they make replacing one's hands illegal in and of itself. And that's just ridiculous.

So anyways, my point is, the first chance I get, I'm totally going to get cyborg hands. Maybe with a calculator built in. It'd be sweet.
