"Discover Magazine reports that despite the average person shaking hands nearly 15,000 times in a lifetime, one in five (19 per cent) admit they hate the act of the handshake and are unsure how to do it properly, regularly making a handshake faux pas such as having sweaty palms, squeezing too hard or holding on too long while over half the population (56 per cent) say they have been on the receiving end of an unpleasant handshake experience in the past month alone. But help is at hand as scientists have developed a mathematical equation for the perfect handshake taking into account the twelve primary measures needed to convey respect and trust to the recipient. The research was performed at the behest of Chevrolet as part of a handshake training guide for its staff and is meant to offer peace of mind and reassurance to its customers. A full guide to the perfect handshake is available on Flickr."

So, who here has the perfect handshake? Should we have a handshake competition replace the RPS comp at LanSmash?

Who could judge the comp without bias though?

It's not that hard to have a good handshake. You just need to be confident with yourself.

I debate this, surely the perfect handsahke is the one you give the police officer to indicate you are too a freemason which gets you out of the ticket?
