Since I was a kid I've always cracked my knuckles, I am now so proficient that I can crack each finger several times. I crack my ankles, toes, arms and sometimes my neck but never did I expect to graduate to what I can now crack...my ass! One morning last week I stretched, squeezed my ass together really tightly and it cracked. I was so proud of this feat until when my kids came home I showed them that I could do it, at first they thought it was weird but later they asked me to teach them the craft. Wifey cannot get with the ass-cracking thing and has asked me never to do it in front of her or pass along to my kids. I've decided that this thing WILL INDEED be part of the legacy that I pass along to my kids and anyone who wants to learn to crack their ass. Please feel free to e-mail me for specific instructions on how to accomplish this. I'm also thinking about dedicating a website to this marvel of human anatomy. www.asscrackersofamerica.com
How does it damage the body? You're stressing me out. I need to crack something. Ahhhh that felt good.
you know, right up until this post...i thought cracking knuckles and whatnot led to arthritis later on in life. after all, it's what my dad had been telling me ever since i was a kid. turns out, it's just and old wives' tale! check it out: Cracking Down on Knuckles You've all heard the story that cracking your knuckles will cause arthritis. Maybe your mom can't stand that "popping" noise and that's why she tells you knuckle cracking will damage your finger joints. Kidzworld did some digging around to find out what makes that "popping" noise and if it causes arthritis. Here's what we found out. The Real Deal on Cracking Your Kuckles What's really happening when you "crack" your knuckles is that you are either pushing the joint back into or out of its normal position. Joints are the meeting points of two separate bones which are held together by connecting tissues and ligaments. A thick, clear lubricant (made mostly of carbon dioxide and some nitrogen) called synovial fluid is found between the bones. When you stretch or pull your finger to get that desired popping noise, you are causing the bones to pull apart. Pressure is reduced on the synovial fluid and bubbles form that quickly expand and then burst - which is why you get that noise. Does Knuckle Cracking Lead to Arthritis? Not everybody's joints crack. Some people have a larger separation between the bones and some people can't relax enough to allow the bones to separate. If you can crack and your mom tells you, you're going to get arthritis, she's just yanking your chain. There is no scientific evidence that cracking your knuckles leads to arthritis. However, it can't be good to repeatedly push a joint beyond its normal physical range. Besides that, it's annoying. Cracking your knuckles can cause a decrease in your grip but unless you're signing any multi-million dollar contracts as a pitcher, it's not worth giving up. But it's still annoying. EDIT: then again, this is about popping knuckles. i can't find anything on the net about poppin azz.
