Just a little silly something to contribute, regarding latex gloves.
I've known for ages (as have, I'm sure, we all) that blowing one of these
up a little makes something like an udder (anyone wanna make a life-size
cow?), but I'd always wondered a)how big can they be inflated and 2)if
inflated fully, do they look like a big hand?
Well, I "borrowed" a set of sample gloves here at the hospital, and now
present my results, for anyone who cares:
a) Quite large, actually, I used an "extra small" size glove, and
before exploding (I wonder what the folks next door think I do, anyway),
it was at least 16" x 30" (see shape notes below). I still have a medium,
large and extra-large to play with, but I don't think I'll push my luck today.
2) (Note the Buchmanism here, MAY fans) No. Just before popping,
it did *not* look like a hand. More like, say, a mitten, with 2 inch
uninflater tips of the fingers. Ah, well
Guess I'll stick with "real" balloons for a while.
