Hands and Fibonacci

Looking at Hands

I decided to test this sequence of numbers by actually measuring, it was said to apply to the bones of the hand. Looking at it logically I thought it ought to work, because the hand curls into a spiral to form a fist.
I downloaded a normal hand Xray and measured it, but I could not find the pattern of numbers by direct means, so, trying a different start number, I made a line 3cm long and magnified the image so that the distal phalanx (bone in the finger tip) was exactly 3cm. Then, without looking at the figures, I drew the rest of the lines in. Then I checked the sequence 3, 5, 8, 12.7

    Again this is all part of ongoing visual communication, think what label this will tick off.
