Would you rather crack your knuckles compulsively or bite your nails?

I think biting nails is just so so so gross. I'd rather crack my knuckles, even if it is bad for the joints -- which, coincidentally, I don't think it does.

I think they dispelled that a couple years ago, I saw it on some kids show on Discovery-- it might somewhat contribute to arthritis-like symptoms, but less so than, say, typing like a mofo

I'm pretty sure cracking your knuckles doesn't do anything bad. But I do it already like a mofo, so it's a no-brainer for me. lol!

Well... I bite my nails until they hurt.. and it sucks, but there is NOTHING I can do about it... except get acrylic nails. haha.

But, given the choice, I'd pick knuckle cracking, 'cause it doesn't HURT. :(

No it totally does hurt sometimes!

crack my knuckles. I did both for a long time, and I am much happier with the way my hands look now that I don't bite my nails. Plus, I'm going to have arthritis in my hands anyway, I may as well keep 'em limber while I can lol

I already crack my knuckles (and my wrists and my elbows and my ankles...) like a mofo, so I'm cool with that :)

Plus, nasty shit is under your fingernails! D:
