Apparently, there's only three types:

Approximately five percent of all fingerprints are Arches, 30% are Whorls and 65% are Loops. link (http://www.senseme.com/scripts/biometrics/fingerprints.htm)

I match that pretty good, except no arches. Anyway, that's your CSI lesson for the day.

On my left hand, I have one whirl, one loop and three arches. Apparently, each finger can a different type. :eek:

All arches on the right hand... :saywhat:

:saywhat: :laugh: I now have white pigment ink all over my fingers. Couldn't discern with the eyes worth a darn...

Following 'lock's example:

LH, thumb to little finger: whorl-loop-arch-loop-arch
RH, little finger to thumb:loop-loop-loop-arch-whorl

LH, thumb to little finger: whorl-loop-arch-loop-arch
RH, little finger to thumb:loop-loop-loop-arch-whorl

Hey, cool...I just noticed that my thumbs and ring fingers 'match', and the others are all the opposite of each other...

:gomer: Yes, I'm avoiding work today.
