Hehe, apparently I do have quite odd toes, partly as a result of having ankle problems and walking funny for a lot of my growing up. But the long second toe is fairly normal - apparently human feet usually come in two types: those with longer second toes and those with shorter second toes.

Are your feet ticklish? I'm completely UN-ticklish. (With the occasional exception of my inner wrists.)

I'm basically ticklish everywhere. I have been known to be reduced to a twitchy, wound-up puddle as a result just of the *threat* of tickling. That was just last week.
That's a very specific area to be ticklish. I wonder how these things develop.

Being ticklish is directly connected to anticipation. I don't think it works without some sort of uncertainty X expectation + feeling rhythm thing.
Ha ha ha. Tickling is evil unless very specific rules and intimacy govern it. My cousin Clair, when she was very little, I would hold my finger an inch from her stomach and say, "I'm not going to tickle you," and she would go through the complete emotional spectrum repeatedly on fast forward. It was awesome, but a fine line to walk.
As for my wrists... arteries by the surface make me nervous.

yup... that's basically what happens to me sometimes. seriously, the anticipation of tickling can be *way* worse than tickling itself (unless, while you're being tickled, you're also anticipating MORE tickling. that's probably worse still)
what about arteries in your neck and legs? they're arguably bigger and more vulnerable.

At least I have more flesh between arteries and air in my neck and legs. If you press on my wrists I can feel the blood pressure jump in my hands.

Weird. I just tried that and didn't notice anything, although I'm not sure what blood pressure jumping in my hands is even supposed to feel like..

It's... somewhere between sit-ups and funny-bone. but in your hand.
