    When you hit your elbow, you can hit the ulnar nerve. This nerve, among other things, carries tactile information from the pinky and usually part of the ring finger, so hitting it causes an unpleasant sensation in that area.

      I keep seeing your username, and I just have to tell you I love it. I have now spent time considering the implications of a sentient loom, and I will continue to do so because they are so vast. Thank you.
