I know the reason (looked it up a long time ago, as I have loads of joints that 'click').

Couldn't be bothered to type it all out myself, so here's what 2 mins on ask jeeves turned up :p

What's really happening when you "crack" your knuckles is that you are either pushing the joint back into or out of its normal position. Joints are the meeting points of two separate bones which are held together by connecting tissues and ligaments. A thick, clear lubricant (made mostly of carbon dioxide and some nitrogen) called synovial fluid is found between the bones. When you stretch or pull your finger to get that desired popping noise, you are causing the bones to pull apart. Pressure is reduced on the synovial fluid and bubbles form that quickly expand and then burst - which is why you get that noise.

Dammit! I was going to say bubbles of air popping! I KNEW that without some bloody search engine! :mad:

...and no the idea that they give you "arthur rightass" (a bloke who comes around your house and breaks you legs when you get old) is in fact a complete myth!

Well if you keep pulling the joints out of place its going to have some detrimental effect. minor though.
I do know one of my work colleagues wore down the cartalige around her thumb joints by poping open vacutainers for years and years.
She can no longer take blood from people because of this so she had to get a different job in the hospital.
