    If you live in China or India, hand sightings only make the news if it lands on someone nearby. In Europe and the US, the hand heading your way means a few minutes on the news presenting the mathematical models predicting where it will land based on trajectory, and something like “John Johnson, a 34-year old Liverpool resident, was a victim of the inexorable hand yesterday. He will be missed.” For the likes of Iceland or New Zealand, the hand heading your way means a full day of tension and lots of wills being updated.
