Reply to comment by ouyin2000 in TIL that the human hand has a unique network of blood vessels, nerves and tendons called the "anatomic snuff box". This area is located on the back of the hand, between the thumb and index finger, and is named for its historical use as a place to hold snuff (a type of finely ground tobacco) by jakebig
Yup. All the way to just below my shoulder.

Yup! Found that out the hard way. It didn't hurt initially, but I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like my hand was on fire.
I thought the doctor was kidding when he said my entire arm had to be cast to prevent the break in a small little bone from shifting.
Fortunately it was my left hand - really hard to shift when you can't move your arm.

Reply to comment by Greene_Mr in TIL the first known résumé was written by Leonardo da Vinci, when applying to be a military engineer for the Duke of Milan. It's mainly just a list of his designs for siege weapons (including trebuchets). He briefly mentions his art: "In painting, I can do everything possible." He got the job. by Pfeffer_Prinz
Yeah. I saw Hudson Hawk.
