Do you pop your fingers?

They don't necessarily "grow" fatter. And a study that I heard on the news says how that's actually a myth.

-searches it up on Google-
The idea that cracking your knuckles will cause medical problems or ugly hands is a myth. In between each of our joints is cartiledge and some stuff that is like a gel. The gel stuff gets air in it from time to time and cracking your knuckles just lets the air out. A lot of noise over nothing.

Yahoo answers ^^

Yahoo Answers cannot always be accurate, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Kind of like Wikipedia. But I'm pretty sure that's right... not sure about the logic behind that, but the part of it being a myth.

Yeah.
I was a bit concerned when someone randomly said one day it'd give you a disease which i will not mention. D:

Lol. Really? I was told that. And my fingers got chubbier O:

I'm always scared when I try to pop my fingers. I also get confused because some people say its good to do, others say bad.

I guess it might depends.

And I don't think it's good to crack your knuckles, neither is it bad, but it's one of those things where it's better if you don't do it, but if you do then it's not horrible. It's half and half.

I wonder if it's true about air bubbles when you pop it or something... *scratches head*

I tried to pop my fingers before it popped but not like for my brother where it was really loud. Mine was like a tiny pop

Lol. Mine make a really loud pop.

I think it's really gross ^^;;
