I hit a parking structure a while ago, with a U-Haul. Stupid depth perception.
My ring finger is significantly longer than my index finger. Seven millimeters (1/4") longer to be precise. According the all-wise internet this means that I am susceptible to depression, aggression, and test failure. On the plus side, I should have good spatial and analytical skills.
Oh yeah, and I should be a good driver. Doesn't really explain the parking structure. I guess there is more to a person than some research that correlates testosterone to fingers. ¶ 7:23 PM

I can't resist correcting an (almost) engineer. 6mm would be closer to 1/4" as the decimal equivalent is .2362. Where 7mm is the DE of .2756 which is .025" more and the 6mm is only .0138 less. It's good to be right but better yet it's right to be good.
Hope you're feeling better Eric and that it wasn't my home brew that "done ya in". I enjoyed your company at the firepit. Rich

Actually, I measured my fingers with metric calipers and then made a rough conversion so those who don't understand millimeters had a frame of reference. I don't think anyone noticed (except you) that 1/4" is actually 6.35mm. And I surely didn't think anyone wanted me to say 0.276". They would have looked at that and said: that is close to a 1/4".
Also, since I drank the home-brew on sunday (and it was delicious) and didn't get sick until tuesday night I think it is safe to say that wasn't it. It was just some bug.

Thanks for playing I know you know what a MM is. My camera is yours to use for the next month or so, let me know. Rich

I always love a banter about unit conversions.
I hope they decide to replace the camera. And send it here soon.
