OneTinyHand.com - Not safe for sanity.
Oh man, this might be the best thing ever. My buddy and I have a running small hand joke, thanks to a child-size oven mitt his roommate's mom sent them years ago. (Why would you send two adult men a child-size oven mitt? NO IDEA. Why would a child-size oven mitt be adorned with a picture of a ship and the word Norway? NO IDEA. But it gave us tons of great laughter material for years to come.)
Because of this, I've been collecting small hands on the internet. If you liked OneTinyHand, you'll love this chihuahua and the saga of the tiny-handed man.

I feel like my sense of my body is shifted. Like it's hacked my cortical homunculus.

mccarty.tim, I've seen both cortex and homunculus, and they both have relatively normal-sized hands.

Better than collecting them elsewhere, I guess.

Take a look at these hands.
Take a look at these hands.
The hand speaks, the hand of a government man.
Well I'm a Tumblr, born under punches.
I'm soooo [tiny]...

Twelve comments in and no mention of 80's UK TV host Jeremy Beadle and Poland syndrome. And yes, I think I did just link to a website dedicated to celebrity hands.

If you can somehow edit the embiggened Dinklage-hand into this video, you win the internet.

I was briefly acquainted with someone who had one arm that was very underdeveloped, so he had this for real. Never had the urge to ask him about it; I used to wonder what would happen if he were arrested and fingerprinted, and someone came across the card later. Anyway, this doesn't strike me as particularly funny, maybe because I know that guy.
Except for the one of George Clooney, for some reason.

this reminds me of how portraits by Ingres always seem to have creepy hands. Why could he not paint hands?
Check out this example or this one.

The last time I was at the California Department of Motor Vehicles, I asked this question of the line supervisor. There are, he explained, rules in place for these situations. If a guy a left hand, but no right hand, use the left hand. If the guy has no hands (yes, you can drive with dual prosthesis), you use the right or left toe.

I like to think this website was inspired by the written word of the Wayans brothers and the tore de force which was Chris Elliot's performance... definitely BOTW

I have a full-sized female mannequin with removable, life-like, but petite, female-sized hands. I'm a 6'5", burly man. It is great, freaky fun for me to wear a long-sleeved shirt and hold the hands--it looks just like these photos.

This sounds like a first dangerous step on the slippery slope that leads to 'masking'. Be careful, friend... there are unspeakable horrors at the end of that long, dark slide.
