You know how your fingers get all pruney and wrinkly when you’ve been in water for a while?

According to Mark Changizi, an evolutionary neurobiologist, “the wrinkles act like rain treads on tires. They create channels that allow water to drain away as we press our fingertips on to wet surfaces. This allows the fingers to make greater contact with a wet surface, giving them a better grip.”

As a kid I remember my grandad had a couple of those in his tool shed and he gave my dad one. I thought they were stupid, until I got older and used one.
