I don't think so, though most people think it is. It's seperate from the four fingers of your hand, and it moves on its own, also seperate from the fingers.

Just my opinion.

-Ikk rarely types with his thumb

Is a thumb a finger but not all fingers are thumbs? Or could you just call them all digits?

Gives new meaning to the phrase, "I can count to ten on my fingers." You'd have to be a ten finger, two thumb mutant then!

It's a different kind of finger, but a finger none the less.

No, it's not. The thumb has two joints and the fingers all have three.

People have ten fingers, so of course thumbs count.

a finger is a nasal hygiene device

a thumb is a nasal hygiene device

therefore they are the same

It's a secret weapon for turning doorknobs, cleverly disguised as a finger.

Duh.

a finger is a nasal hygiene device

 

a thumb is a nasal hygiene device

no, Lhik, it's like this:

a thumb is a nasal hygiene device

all nasal hygiene devices are fingers

therefore, all thumbs are fingers

get you syllogism structure right.

That means tissue boxes have about 100 fingers.

That's a little much, isn't it?

The comments made me laugh.

I think it's not. There are structures similar to thumbs, on dinosaur skeletons, near the heel of the foot. They're stabilizers or something. And I think raptors stab stuff with 'em. Or they stab the ground. I have very little knowledge of dinosaurs.

Also, bats have fingers that spread their wings, and they have thumbs that are different, they use 'em to...I don't know what they use them for.

I'm realizing how little I know about the anatomy of animals. XD

the thumb is the same size as the middle finger if you remove the skin inbeetween the pointer and thumb.
