    If you grabbed someone (or even yourself) around the midriff, which organs could you squeeze? Can you reach a spleen from outside?

    how big are your hands?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    pretty big, we're talking Pat Jennings here (not my own hands, just for the sake of argument)

    When posts like these come up I wonder exactly what kind of an idiot can come up with them.

    Spleen and liver are protected by the ribcage. Mostly you would hold intestines in your hands.

    Testicles. Ouch.

    I'd be looking for some concrete specifications before I could possibly make an asumption. Would probably need some basic measurements of the person you were putting your hands around too.
    Why would you ask this kind of question without having the figures ready from the get-go?
    Some might think you were just asking stupid questions for no reason...

    Didn't that guy in Indiana Jones squeeze Harrison Ford's heart... man that must've hurt.

    Testicles, intestines, kidneys (perhaps) and if you're strong enough you might catch the top of the bowel.

    Yeah, the heart pinch is particularily painful.

    Your kidneys would be accessible. For womem, you could theoretically reach the womb and ovaries. You could maybe get at the liver too.

    Not sure about the kidneys. They have a pretty think layer of fat surrounding them.

    Your organ.:)

    If your hands are that long then you can shove them up your bum you can pinch just about any organ you wanted to.

    What the hell put this into your mind anyway?

    What about your biggest organ then ?

    It's not internal ;)

    Then again I know some people and I'd swear they can touch an organ when using cotton buds to clean their ears. stop pushing when you feel resistance

    Liver, large &small intestine, gallbladder, kidneys.
    Maybe womb, maybe bladder if the hands were big enough and bladder was full.

    Why do you ask?

    As someone already mentioned, there is the old problem of ribs protecting a lot of that.

    What you could grab would depend on what level of fat or muscle you have.
    Find a skinny person to rumage around on. Beer had taken its toll and I didnt find anything.....yet......
