No, they don't.Even though our fingers are different lengths, they all line up when you curl all your fingers in.
Mine neither.No, they don't.
Not "useless" at all. I think this is awesome. And to add some flavor there is this:In 1936, a building was erected at the corner of Elizabeth and Woodward in Detroit and named the Elwood Bar. Prime location, across from the Fox Theatre. In 1997, Detroit was in the midst of reimagining the downtown. The plan including building a baseball stadium (Comerica Park) and a football stadium (Ford Field) side by side. To accomplish this, investors and the city needed to buy up property surrounding the new sports zone. Enter Chuck Forbes. In 1997 he owned the Elwood Bar and also owned the Gem Theatre. He refused to sell either property for the stadium developments. The city backed down from forcing sale through invoking Imminent Domain. Time for a Hail Mary. The investors and the city agreed to move both of Forbes’ properties in order to clear space for the stadiums. As a result, Elwood Bar (now called Elwood Bar & Grill) and the Gem Theatre were lifted off their foundations and moved at a rate of 300 ft per day to their current locations. Elwood Bar & Grille is now on a corner just south of a secondary entrance to Comerica Park and just west of the main entrance to Ford Field. Probably one of the best bar locations in the country.

Arrow on the left points to where Gem Theatre was. Arrow on the right points to where it is now. Blue dot is where Elwood Bar was. Green dot is where Elwood Bar & Grill is today. Ford Field was just starting construction when this picture was taken and now covers the red outlined area. Chuck Forbes is the man.
