        Not really - very quickly they would be unable to wave at the politicians any more... :-D

        Isn't it usually the politicians, who wave at the people? And they still could clap... One doesn't need fingers to clap. :)

          not if you are North Korean there waving is the standard default, and you must cry on demand too (or else we will give you something to cry about - wave byebye to your family)

          You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

            Can't quite see what fingers have to do with waving ones hand. I don't see any nescessity of fingers in this hand waving business at all. In fact having no fingers would be an improvement as it would be impossible to make fist and wave that at the politicians. ;P :-D Cheers!

                There are two specific fingers that I need both for typing and for waving at politicians, trust me!

                      Typing? Both. Waving? One for politicians, two for the Cabinet
