Sense of Humour - can your hand show it?

Do comedians’ hands have anything in common at all? If they did, it would mean they have similar personalities … but seems unlikely, doesn't it, because there are all types of humour out there. And is there a sign on the hand which tells you that a person has a sense of humour?

I picked four world-famous comedians’ hands: Jimmy Fallon, Joe Rogan, Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert. I have not seen any of their shows, except for a couple of Colbert's shows. All of these comics possess a sense of humour, obviously, but is that quality evident on the hand? We already know that there is no such thing as a blanket sense of humour as comedians have different styles.

JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr – reasons they aligned with Donald Trump

AI generated image
A bunch of prominent people who never liked Donald Trump are now his best buddies. Why?

Eight years ago, JD Vance, the VP nominee for the Republican party, compared to Donald Trump to Hitler, but now JD has embraced him. Tulsi Gabbard, a politician from Hawaii, a Democrat turned Independent, now endorses Trump. Robert F Kennedy Jr, called Donald Trump “unhinged” not too long ago, but is now campaigning for him.

What motivates these characters? JD Vance has been accused of changing because of ambition and greed for power, Gabbard has been accused to going wherever the wind blows, wherever she garners the most attention, and RFK Jr., known to have extreme views, wants power as well. In a nutshell, they think that Donald Trump will help them get what they want. It seems too simple an explanation for such a radical change in outlook, and a rejection of the values they held dear. People are complicated, and only the hand can reveal people's inner secrets;secrets which quite possibly even those nearest and dearest to them may not know.

The hands of these three – JD, Gabbard and RFK – reveal that

Bang Chan's fingers are of medium length, with distinctly slim second phalanges. His Saturn (middle) finger seems a little short, not too much so. The Jupiter (index) finger appears to be dominant, as it is high-set and bent. Another distinguishable aspect of the fingers is that the first phalange of Mercury (pinky) finger is significantly long, although the other first phalanges of his fingers are good as well. The tips of the fingers are rounded, although the tip of the Mercury finger is more conic.

The lines on his palm are fine and long, and the unusual line is the

Rajnath Singh - Ordinary and yet not so ordinary

It’s always amazing when the hands of people who have risen to the top seem ordinary in so many ways. Ordinary in intellect and ordinary when it comes to true leadership, of the benevolent kind.

Rajnath Singh has good sized hands, large, rectangular palm and short fingers. The Mercury (little) finger is long, as dominant as the Apollo (ring) finger, and the thumb is fairly good and possibly a little stiff. It’s a good length and not set too low or too high, although it is held close to the hand. The Jupiter (index) finger is bent, and low-set which makes it look short. His heart and head lines are

Are all serial killers psychopaths?

Graphic serial killer
By 愚木混株 Cdd20 Pixabay
Do serial killers have traits in common? According to the FBI, while the motivations and methods of serial killers vary, most serial killers tend to be self-seeking, and use charm, manipulation, intimidation to satisfy their selfish desires. They exhibit sensation-seeking and predatory behavior, impulsivity, and a desire for control. 

Not all serial killers are psychopaths, however. The psychos tend to exhibit a total lack of empathy, lack of guilt or remorse, are out of touch with reality and often live in a fantasy world. If one examines the hands of serial killers, which of these characteristics would be evident? 

The hands of serial killers are mostly

John Mayer the Musician and Player

John Mayer with guitar
John Mayer, a world-famous singer, guitarist, and song-writer, is known not just for his work, but also his numerous love affairs. At forty-six, he is still a player. He insists that he wants to marry, so why doesn’t he?

His hands are large, but not over-large, considering his height, which is almost six feet three. What is remarkable is that his palm is very broad and the thumb quite low-set and long, with a slim second phalange and a strong top phalange. The long, low-set thumb may be ideal for his guitar playing, but such a thumb has a significant meaning, in palmistry. It indicates will power and determination, and leadership qualities, and that’s just for starters!

The Venus, Jupiter and Moon mounts are well developed, but yet, not over-developed. His fingers are a good length, the Mercury (pinky) finger being significantly long, with a conic tip. The other fingers are well balanced with each other in length, and the Saturn (middle) and Jupiter finger is possibly a little bent. The Jupiter (index) finger has a conic tip as well, while the other fingertips are rounded. The third phalanges of his Apollo (ring) and Jupiter fingers are a little thick. The lines on his hand are fairly well-marked, with the headline long and slightly sloping but not too sloping. The heart line is not clearly visible in public photos, but it does seem that it is not as darkly etched underneath the Jupiter finger.

These hand features paint us a picture of who John Mayer is and it

Bongbong Marcos – a better leader than his father?

Bongbong Marcos Philippines
Bongbong Marcos, is the son of the disgraced ex-President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, and his wife, Imelda Marcos. But today Bongbong Marcos is the elected the President of the Philippines. Do his hands tell us that he is the chip of the old block? 

Well, genes are genes, and one does tend to inherit a personality, just like one inherits one's physical features. Yet, each one of us is still a little different, as in the case with Bongbong Marcos. It was his bad luck that both his parents were in the eye of the storm, and neither of them impressive characters. The interesting thing about parental genes is that unless the child is plucked out of the environment, there is little chance of the apple falling in another orchard.

Before getting to Bongbong’s Marcus’s hands, a note about his parents hands can tell us whether there is similarity between their hands and the hands of their son, Bongbong.

Wang Yibo - an actor and a philosopical man

Wang Yibo
The swanky Wang Yibo is a Chinese actor, dancer, singer, rapper, and professional motorcycle racer. Quite a versatile celebrity, and one of the most famous in China.

His hand is unique, in the sense that it is large. Sure, people do have large hands, but it is not so common. That is perhaps why there are many mentions of Wang Yibo’s large hands. Large hands have significance in palmistry, but their significance can never be understood fully unless one takes into account the hand as a whole.

Benjamin Netanyahu – strong but changeable

Benjamin Netanyahu, popularly known as Bibi, the current Prime Minister of Israel, doesn’t have an ordinary hand. His character as revealed by his hands, is shown as strong and ambitious, with a personality which is action-oriented, street-smart and aggressive. His hand also shows Netanyahu as someone with strong emotions and also someone who is impressionable, idealistic and has great communication skills. Impressive as it seems, Netanyahu is a complex human being and has weaknesses in his character.

If one examines his hand features, what is striking are the long,

Kiara Advani – an actor with a future

Kiara Advani
It’s said that Kiara Advani is one of the most promising stars in Bollywood today. Her hand is good, in the sense it shows talent, sensitivity and a strong character. What's even better – her hand shows her to be a genuinely nice girl.

Her hand is a long one, with a big thumb and a good first phalange of the thumb. The lines are fairly clear, slightly curved, and there is a gap between the head and life lines. The Saturn (middle) finger is significantly bent although the others are not. The little (pinky) finger is relatively short if one compares it to the other fingers, and is low-set and held apart. The tips of the fingers are either conic or rounded and the most prominent mounts on her hand are the Jupiter and Lower Mars mounts, although the mount of Moon is developed too.

Her hand tells us that she is not likely to be a complex person, nor does she have a secretive, manipulative nature. Her
