I can't crack my knuckles. I don't like knuckle-cracking, but I've tried a lot and I can't.

Other people can crack my knuckles, though. All my past partners have liked cracking my knuckles, and doing things like cracking their knuckles against my head. Ugh, sends shivers down my spine.

Fingers or toes?

Most of my finger knuckles won't crack, the joints have been displaced over the years of self abuse.
My toe knuckles on the other hand (LOL), are a pleasure to crack every now and then.
I think I will go and have a crack at them right now...

Fingers. Other joints crack on their own sometimes, but I can never crack my own fingers.

A friend of mine can audibly crack her spine just by twisting her hips.

My knuckles crack sometimes just when I flex my fingers.  Not as much since I started playing taiko and we warm up with a lost of wrist/hand exercises that flex them though.  Also I have less arthritis annoyance and less plantar fascitis... just way worse skin on my hands :P

I have to occasionaly crack my neck.
My back will start at the bottom and crack on secquence to the top when bending over sideways. Each way.
My left knee cracks and I fall down in agony... :'(

I can crack my back and neck no problem (and loudly). Even my wrists.

Sometimes my jaw pops out of place, and it's pretty crooked. I smile a bit lopsidedly.

Toe knuckle cracking has been associated with insanity.

My ankles crack pretty loudly.

So did my skull once, when I stood up from a water fountain and hit a very unwisely placed shelf.  My first thought was that I had been shot; I figured someone had mistaken me for someone else and I was going to politely tell them they had the wrong person and then pass out.  I did neither, thankfully.

i have TMJ, though it hasn't bothered me for months now -touch wood-, but my jaw used to dislocate all the time.  neither the dislocation nor the popping back in particularly hurt, some cracks did, but it'd ache pretty bad a lot. 

i crack my toes.....

The delicious insanity of toe cracking is one of life's little pleasures.
One should walk in the path of insanity on occasion.
It's a perspective that can help guide you in the pursuit of happiness.

I had no idea that I could eat as much noodles with butter and garlic, along with garlic bread as I just did. Ohhh...
I may not have to eat for a few days...
And I skipped working out today...
I feel like gravity just increased....
Ohh...

The gravitational constant no doubt remained ... well ... constant.

Your mass increased thus you changed the relationship:

F = G((m1m2)/r^2)

Gravity (and time) are only constant when measured from the same relative movement through the universe.
Constant is an illusion in the idea that we tend to think of everything moving toward or away, in a fashion, from us.
Indeed, my notion of gravity increasing as a result of increased mass is incorrect, as my relative motion did not change.
In fact, my motion decreased only relative to my immediate surroundings.
I ate to much.

Burp
I loved burping when I was young, now it seems to be a means of relief, more often than not.
I think I shall swallow air and burp all I want, today.
How childishly shallow, yet satisfied with my world I will be.
