Another exemplary preferred embodiment of the invention includes a fingernail pick in which the primary string contacting portion is substantially longer and thicker than a fingernail to increase the playing surface and allow strokes in which the fingernail pick, and not the user's fingertip, strikes the string.
The fingernail pick is attached to the fingernail by aligning the fingernail pick with the fingernail of the user, sliding the cantilevered portion of the fingernail into the slot, if any, and pressing the fingernail pick firmly onto the fingernail of the user.
According to this embodiment, the thickness of the fingernail pick 10 along the primary playing surface 21 is thicker than at any other portion of the fingernail pick 10, while the anchor portion 14 is relatively thin by comparison, to prevent inadvertently catching the fingernail pick 10 on a string of the instrument being played.

 An evaluation of the relevance of routine DNA typing of fingernail clippings for forensic casework. Oz C, Zamir A . ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Abstract: DNA extracted from fingernail clippings of victims in forensic cases is a possible source of DNA from the perpetrator in cases where victims struggled or defended themselves.
Fingernail clippings that are sent to our lab in actual casework are usually so small that additional treatment by swabbing or removing debris from below the clipping is not possible.
In conclusion, the findings from this study show that although the profiles obtained when typing fingernail clippings are those of the donors themselves, we suggest that typing of fingernail clippings should be carried out in forensic cases only when relevant.
