So...in your non-mouse hand, you hold a small, burning object...and you wonder why it's warmer?

Can't say I've noticed any difference in temperature between my mouse hand and non-mouse hand.

I can also get the radio, but only I can hear it. It seems to only be talk radio stations though.

Put the laptop on a table and you can avoid that genital burning.

My house is quite cold and I often find my mouse hand is a lot colder than my non-mouse hand. It's especially noticable while I'm mining in EVE, as all I'm doing is moving minerals from my cargo hold to a mining can once a minute. I've taken to wearing one glove, Michael Jackson style.

I think Seareach is on the right track with the typing thing though. You use more of the muscles in the hand when typing and more arm muscles when moving the mouse.

You should have done so when meeting SRD. You could have shaken his hand and claimed it was your 'SRD Hand-Shaking Glove'. Couldn't have unsettled him any more than insisting he use your pen. :P :biggrin:

Take a poll to see who the smokers are. When I was a heavy smoker my right hand was always cold and at times tingling due to circulation problems but no longer.
One year smoke free this month.

Burning money, shaking gourd rattles and speaking in tongues to send out the best of luck.
The first is a good day to quit.

That's what day I started when I quit for a year.

And your previous suggestion for guitar playing might bear fruit. Although I might get started on one of the Guitar Hero games. I'm due some money for Christmas, and already have $25 for Target, so we'll see.

Well, whaddaya know, I'm on the computer at work, and lo and behold, my right mouse hand does indeed feel colder than my left hand. I attribute this to the cold draft that's coming up from the main lobby. I think.

Maybe Luci isn't entirely nuts after all. :P
