Turns out that Murt just had weak genes.

"Betanews is reporting about a Harvard medical school report that suggests Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is unrelated to typing at all. Suggested causes may be genetic disposition, body weight, fractured bones or even pregnancy." From the article: "Now, don't go out typing to your heart's content. Researchers still warned that improper computer use could cause different types of repetitive stress injuries, of which carpal tunnel is incorrectly described as one."

    Oh well, i used Carpal Tunnel as an excuse to get out of Keyboarding class, and the teacher started giving us less work ever since i "got" it. I never actually had carpal tunnel, but it seemed to work very well for me ::::02::

    no one in my family line has ever had carpal tunnel syndrome before, I'm the first! It's only one study...I'm sure more will follow.

    I still doubt it's correctness though--

    have you ever thought it could be because lack of calcium reducing bone strength combined with typing and doing things with your hands etc.

    or it could just be because your so skinny.....

    maybe your parents did it the wrong wayimage  j/k

    but thats sort of a shock, in a way. Atleast now we can type more without worrying about it.

    Actually, that wasn't really funny.

    You killed the funny.
