Random question to any scientists out there:

Aren't all your fingerprints meant to be the same?

Nine of mine are swirls that run off sideways like an upsidedown teardrop that's been squashed. But the ring finger on my right hand has concentric circles like the rings on a tree. I've been staring at them in all sorts of light, but it's definitely different, and definitely the only one.

Weird.

ETA: thanks to all of you who explained the mysteries of fingerprints to me!

Right. If you could only have Orlando or Viggo which would you choose?

ETA: given my complete lack of explanation I'll be clearer:
For what? Anything you want. I meant if you had to choose, which is your favourite.
And there's no reason, I was just wondering.

ETA2: and to save you from asking: I'd answer Viggo.

ETA3: It's funny that Viggo claims he can escape molestation by women if Orlando or the hobbits are around to deflect attention: because as far as my flist is concerned it appears Viggo is by far the one in demand!
