Foolish land-things. One need not snap their fingers if one has flippers.

Same here. On both hands too. Sounds just like a pair of castanets.
Same here! :D

I can snap my fingers on both hands as well, but for some reason I can snap my left hand somewhat better than my right, even though I am right-handed.

Why yes, yes I can. In fact, due to my tourettes syndome I am psychologically compelled to do so.

As I said in the other thread, no. I've had people explain to me how to do it, but when I tried following their advice, what I ended up getting was barely audible.

Alas, I cannot snap my fingers. However, I can whistle, albeit while inhaling rather than exhaling. I can also voluntarily swallow air and belch quite loudly, and I can make the most realistic, disgusting farting noises you've ever heard by blowing on my right hand. I can even make one that sounds somewhat like a foghorn. :D

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

It hasn't saved my life (yet), but I've played a few pieces that required snapping and one of those pieces was at a paid gig, so I'm technically a professional. ;-)

Same here, actually. My snaps aren't too loud, though.

Yes, unlike whistling, I can easily snap my fingers.

my cousin refused to let me in peace until I could, so now i can snap my fingers on both hands...it makes my brothers mad.

but... I refuse to ~snap~ my fingers if it means they're being broken*cringes at the thought*

I can't snap my fingers with anything like reliability, but I can do a much better job at snapping my toes.
