-Removed-"The thumb on the human hand has only two phalanges whereas human fingers each have 3 phalanges. This give the thumb greater movement and enables it to do things the fingers can't do. Collectively the fingers and thumbs are known as digits. The thumb is said to be opposable to the fingers. By definition, the thumb is both a finger and not a finger. "Finger" can mean any of the four digits besides the thumb OR any digit including the thumb. It is up to the person to decide whether or not the thumb is considered a finger." -Answers

It can get a good grip about things though, unlike certain parts of other's anatomies.
Do you always copy and paste the first page at the top of what you find when googling? Generally, those pages at the top are for the morons who click and read. The better pages need a little more respect to find Bob.
Use your thumb, and you may find you get more pleasure along with your finger tips. 😉
