	Card Games: Hand and Foot
		Hand and Foot is a North American game related to Canasta, in which each player is dealt two sets of cards - the hand, which is played first, and the foot, which is played when the hand has been used up.
		If you had three eights and a two in your hand, you could use the top eight from the discard pile and one of your eights to complete your eight pile, and start a new meld with two eights and a two.
		This can happen because you find it in your hand, or pick it up in your foot, or draw it from the stock, or (very exceptionally) pick it up from the discard pile (this could only happen if the original turned up card happened to be a red three).

	Rank of hands (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Two such hands are compared by their high card in the same way as are straights.
		The hands are ranked in the order they are because of the relative probabilities of their being delt, with rarer hands ranking above more common hands (see Poker probability).
		That is, any hand with no pair defeats any hand with a pair; one pair hands defeat two pair or three-of-a-kind, etc. No-pair hands are compared starting with the highest ranking card, just as in high poker, except that the high hand loses.

		Tendons may be flexor (they contract, causing the hand or fingers to tighten or curl up) or adductor (they contract, causing the hand or fingers to loosen, or straighten out).
		Therefore, palmar tendons (those on the palm-side of the hand) generally are flexors, while dorsal tendons (on the back of the hand) usually are adductors.
		The palmar ligaments (those on the palmar side of the hand) include those which connect the radius and ulna to the wrist (carpal) bones, and those which attach the fingers to the carpals and metacarpals.

	Michael Dyck's collection of hand games
		An exaggerated positioning of the palm-together hands at the start indicates the direction of the next sequence: cocked up to right shoulder for a "normal," right-handed game, or cocked up to the left shoulder for a left game.
		You do the hand sequence while singing the song 3 times, but on the final "last", poke the other person in the belly (instead of doing action 7 of the 15th repetition of the hand sequence) and ignore the last three rests.
		Thus your left hand is kind of reminding you that you're going to reach over with your right hand to grab the cup on the left, nearest the main (left) tapping hand (in this case).
