Knuckle Cracking

Knuckle Cracking is an age-old ritual performed by members of the secret society called the Priory of Sion, a secretive sect whose reach encompasses most of the modern world.

Explanation

Knuckle cracking involves the painstaking learning of the ability to manipulate one's bones and joints to produce certain sound or visual effects. Skilled practitioners of this talent are able to concoct intricately-detailed messages of vast lengths which may be conveyed to equally-skilled receivers even during a seemingly "normal" conversation. Many secret discussions are known to have been carried out using this "secret language".

Through certain genetic mutations and experiements, however, a fair number of people living all over the world have also expressed the ability to produce similar sounds without such training. Leading scientists in the field of Biological Language have assured Absolute Facts, though, that these sounds are only superficially similar to those mentioned previously. To quote Dr. Reed Richards, the world's premier mind on issues regarding the anatomical manipulation, "These other people who exhibit the ability to produce sounds from parts of their bodies other than the larynx, nasal cavities and rectum are those few who can be said to be the result of genetic mutation through exposure - pre-natal or otherwise - to cosmic radiation. Some others have shown fantastic abilities. Fantastic indeed."

History

Many famous men and women have been knuckle crackers over the course of human history, and nearly all of them have been a part of the above-mentioned Priory. As also previously-mentioned, several important events in history have been conducted in the clicks and creaks of the knuckle language.

Albert Einstein: One of the earliest pioneers of the art, famed male opera singer Einstein was said to be able to recite the Bible using only the toes in his left foot, while simultaneously accompanying his soprano voice with contralto notes from his right foot.

Isaac Newton: Mr. Newton was perhaps the world's richest apple farmer, who eventually moved on to owning the world's most successful apple plantation conglomerate, named Gravity.

Evita Peron: The first female who lived in Argentina, Peron won the hearts of dozens of South-Americans with her rendition of punk rocker Madonna's "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", using her thumbs exclusively.

Bill Cosby: Professional athelete, Cosby is the NFL's all-time leading scorer, with unchallenged records for consecutive number of 3-pointers and home runs made in a season (1337 on both occasions). Cosby was nicknamed The Cracking Knuckle due to his eccentric habit of holding post-game interviews and answering questions using only his knuckles.

The Declaration of Independance: This famous document, which is arguably the cornerstone of American history, society and politics, was dictated in the knuckle language.

The Jules Rimet Trophy: Held every four years by the Federation for Intense Focus for Action (FIFA), this tournament was once the most-watched event in the recorded history of media, surpassing even The World Cup of Carrom. What made this competition unique from a sporting perspective is that it was held in near-total silence, with only knuckle-cracking accentuating the action.
