Today we celebrate—and show a little appreciation for—the thumb, which is considered to be one of the most important digits. Made up of two bones, thumbs are often known as opposable thumbs because they can be stretched opposite fingers in order to grip things. They can carry out a wide range of uses and motions, such as pinching, grasping, rotating, and flexing. Besides humans, some animals have opposable thumbs or toes, although most do not. These animals are mainly primates like chimpanzees and orangutans. On Thumb Appreciation Day, some people abstain from using their thumbs and instead just use their other fingers, which gives them a better appreciation for their thumbs. Others show their appreciation for their thumbs by using them in various ways, more than they usually would otherwise.
Let's get together and talk about how difficult caching would be without thumbs. We can also talk about the caches in Michigan's thumb and which are our favorites. If all else fails, we can have a few matches of thumb wrestling. What do you say? Does this event get a 👍
Everybody's welcome. Arrive when you can, leave when you want.
