No racist jokes about them standing on all fours whilst they were being spray painted please.

Chava Posted at 3:29 pm on Aug. 7, 2008 Probably just have less pigment in those areas.

I think it might be because its like the toughest area of skin and they dont exactly sunbathe their palms and soles either do they. brokenwingsdecay 8 Posted at 2:18 am on Aug. 7, 2008 Haha never heard that one about the spray paint. Probably because the skin is thicker there, and melanin which colours the skin is usually darker on thinner skin. Rough areas like elbows, soles of feet, palms, knees, etc have thicker skin therefore less melanin. KiwiKi Posted at 2:17 am on Aug. 7, 2008 .....*shakes head* All 9 previous replies displayed.
