...for the Adrian Flatt Hand Collection. By popular request, here is a review of what is, hands down, the most interesting display where I work.
Adrian Flatt is a hand surgeon and former chief of orthopedic surgery at Baylor Medical Center. He made rosin impressions of the hands of a lot of famous people, and the bronze casts of those hands are displayed here. Among my favorites are Charles Shultz, Dr. Seuss, and Linus Pauling, who I had the privilege to see lecture when I was an undergraduate. There is plenty of interest for the Planelopnik folks, too. Enjoy!

But who wants to see a collection of flat hands?

Is the joke that he has tiny hands or something?

Joking aside, I think he has hands similar to mine - namely, squarely in the medium range, but by virtue of him being big, disproportionately small compared to height, and with a large palm that makes the fingers look very short. Which makes wearing latex/nitrile gloves a giant pain in the rear, because “normal” gloves are too tight, and “large” gloves are too long in the finger.
Yes, I formally admit here that I have Trump Handylosis.

It’s sort of like the old joke: How can you tell a violin from a viola? The viola players heads are smaller. It’s all about perspective.

The palm/finger thickness and set of proportions I have, of the ones on display above, is probably most similar to Walt Disney - with slightly shorter fingers and smaller hand overall.

Creepy. Reminds me of this:

Damn. Van Cliburn had really long fingers.

Okay, wasn’t sure. Sorry I wasn’t in on it. I actually spent a couple minutes checking to see if he was in there before responding.

I love that “Katey Sagal” is in that frame.

I have a similar problem. I have large hands and short little sausage fingers. I need an XL glove to get it on, but then there’s a full inch of extra finger flopping around.
