theoristxxi said: One friend of my is programmer. He says that loosing one finger is much more awful than loosing both legs. For programmers typing fast is crucial.
Thumbs don't really get used much in typing though except hitting the space bar; That can be compensated for by tapping it with the palm. Thumbs aren't exactly the most crucial digits for programmers.
That's not saying that isn't painful and brutal and a pretty awful fate nevertheless. Good luck picking anything up without thumbs.
