A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    Ha! My finger-Bob! 🙂
    The circulation’s still quite poor so the slightest drop in temperature makes it ache, hence the stump-cosey.
    My little nephew thinks it’s a person and talks to it (we told him I fell over and my finger dropped off!)

    Were you asking me or snailer?
    Yes it was an accident, just as the heading would imply.

    Hey–Nubbies rock! They’re a great conversation piece, kids love ‘em, and they can be fun in bed.

    Besides, never trust anyone with 10 fingers and toes (I have 9 and 5, respectively).
