Look at a charging paramite. They act like gorilla's and other large apes who use their hands as platforms. While they do rest on their...front limbs, I still use "hand" as "thing on end of limb in similar position to where humans have arms"

Anyone else got a complaint about how the critters hands look by this definition??

I classify hands as things that can pick up and hold objects. And Paramites are always on their front limbs, they never lift them except to walk and climb. They aren't hands.

That includes an Elephant's trunk. It's all in definition!

Damn, didn't see that one coming. :fuzvamp:
Okay then, things that pick up and hold things that are positioned on the end of an arm.
Now I wait to be proved wrong again.

Not arguing... debating.

It's fun!

Now, somethinhg that can hold on the end of an arm.
What's an arm? (One area to find fault in)
Other than that, I think you got the right definition. Paramites can hold onto webs though, and they use limbs with 2 joints. So they might have 4 arms or legs or something.

Look, Paramites got 2 votes. Someone must like the shape of their hands!
