What body part is as long as the distance from your elbow to your wrist?

its tooooo hot to think

 

Good point.
I hadn't thought of that, maybe she is?

 

so whats the answer just put us out of our misery

 

Sheal and "M" got it straightaway. It had came up in a quiz and I'd got it wrong. :( :(

 

So: curious mind begs to know ... what did you put?

 

Or, maybe, just a different planet?

 

They used to say (pre-obesity and fitting rooms) that it was also a way of measuring that trousers/waistbands would fit. You put your elbow into the closed waistband and if you could get the wrist with no hand (female) or hand with a closed fist (male) you were a healthy weight.

 

Your Noggin.

 

Wasn't thinking straight and I put down calf.
