While I was wasting my time watching "Elementary" today I found out that one of the character has the same thumb shape as I do! The special thumb shape is called a "clubbed thumb" also know as murder's thumb(...), porter's thumb and Dutch thumb.
Clubbed thumb is a type D of Brachydactly which means the "shortness of the fingers and toes"(from Wiki). And there are actually millions of people who has this type D condition. The most famous person with a clubbed thumb would be Megan Fox, the sexist woman in the world according to FHM 2008. There's even a website about her clubbed thumb(which I found quite weird though..)
I grew up feeling inferior because my thumb is just so different. It got worse after I was laugh by classmates when I was in elementary school. Of course now I am no longer bothered by this but I still tend to hide my thumb when making a fist.
But now that I know it is nothing big, many people actually are just like me and it is something inherited, which means there's really nothing I can do about it. It is really a great relive! The thing that had been puzzled me for the past 27 years can no longer trouble me!
So I guess watching shows isn't really that bad, I can actually LEARN something out of it!!
ドラマなどの娯楽を見て時間を過ごしては時間を無駄にするとよく言われます。けれど、時々ドラマの物語から、勉強できるものもあるんだ。ドラマはほとんどフィクションですが、脚本家もあの物語書くために、様々な資料を集めて、それであのストーリーを書きました。推理物語は特に難しいと思います。
