when i was littler, i had this body game for the computer that i loved. (it would explore places like the brain, hand, tummy, etc.) When you got to the fingernails, it showed that little people where in there and the nails are all rolled up on a special machine. for the longest time, i thought that if you pushed on the skin right above your nail, your nail would grow because of those little people in you nails
