    Is it True about Your Foot and Elbow?

    Is it true about your foot being the same length as it is from the crook of your elbow to your wrist?

    I put my foot on my arm and it seems to be true for me. How about you?

      Not me. I put my heel in the crook of my elbow and my big toe went about 1cm past my wrist. I do have REALLY big feet for my stature (size 11 at 5'7").

        Hey! Same here!! I"m 5'7" too and wear a size 11 shoe...but I have long arms so maybe that is why mine works out.

          Wow! My arms are more medium length - not short not long. Actually, I have a fairly dense medium frame but VERY petite hands and wrists (WEIRD). You think my ankles would be petite - nope.

                  That's okay...I did each in a separate thread. I just bumped them up so they should all be on the first page of "New Posts".

                  Thanks for joining in!

                    One of my feet is longer than the other, but both are a little shorter than forearm crook to wrist length.

                      Not true here. My entire big toe goes past my wrist, and I only have size 6 feet!

                            This one works for me too. I vaguely remember the elbow/foot thing from school, but I never knew about the finger/nose thing.

                            That sounds kinda gross, doesn't it? lol
