    Do you just keep getting hairier as you get older?

    Lately I noticed a few things:

    1) My "treasure trail" (which has been present since I was ~17) has gotten significantly thicker

    2) I have significant amounts of hair on my upper arms (tricep region). As of yet it is only blonde hair, but I'm afraid it will start the progression to dirty blonde/brown which the rest of my hair has.

    3) I now not only have hair between the first and second knuckles (moving up from my wrist) on each finger, but also between 2nd and 3rd knuckles. If I start to grow hair on the last segment (where fingernail is located) then I don't know what I'm going to do.

    On a completely unrelated note, did you realise that the human arm+hand has 23(!) degrees of freedom (including shoulder motions)?

          Me neither. And not very much on chest either.

          My legs are like a forest. Scottish blood, I think. Luckily it's blonde (the lightest hair on my body, actually).

            My beard comes in thicker now than it did five years ago...

            I haven't really been paying attention to the rest, since I've been too preoccupied by the encroachment of grey hair.

            Also, is that counting each finger joint as a separate degree of freedom, or just each finger?

                  Each joint, since you have separate control of each of them. The degrees I found are (moving down from shoulder:

                  3 at shoulder
                  1 at elbow
                  1 in forearm (it's possible to rotate the forearm without rotating upper arm)
                  2 at wrist
                  3 in each finger (including thumb)

                  Wait...that makes 22. Oops.

                  EDIT: actually, that should be 4 for each finger. At the first joint there's 2 degrees of freedom.

                  So the final tally is 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 5*4 = 27!

                    2 at wrist? it's not possible to rotate just your wrist/hand

                      Yup, started going grey at the ripe old age of 17. My mom's genes must've cursed me, since she had to start coloring her hair at 24.

                      What does that turn into for somebody who's double jointed? Or does it make a difference?

                        2 at wrist. You can waggle the wrist toward the forearm and from side to side.

                              No difference. I think the double jointedness just reduces the restrictions on the already-available degrees of freedom (increases range of motion).
