Twenty four palms makes a man – Leonardo da Vinci 

Or should that be, twenty four palms makes a man very happy?


They say, it’s what makes a man.

It certainly would in gay world, is all I can think. I know I have been in back rooms where there were 24 palms coming at me in the dark.


The rule relies on simple body math (anthropometry):

1 Palm: The width of your 4 fingers.

1 Foot: 4 palms.

1 Cubit: 6 palms.

1 Man: 24 palms, or 4 cubits tall.


While Da Vinci studied the exact math behind these proportions, Michelangelo used them as a guide when carving his famous sculpture, David. Both masters used these body rules to make their art look realistic.

Remembering, both men were gay.
