I doubt that you can do it with no gaps. I though about it, but there
will be microscopic gaps that you could not avoid. I figured that in a
discussion with Mike McCarty, I had better be as accurate as possible.

So, the idea that the thumb is not a finger is specific to the English
language. Indeed, in Hebrew it is a finger- as are the toes! So while
English speakers have 8 fingers, Hebrew speakers have 20.

I'd love to see some examples. I love word games- and this may be
valuable. In an attempt to keep this On Topic, are there any computer
(or linux) related ones?
