Well, given that it has a 250 reading memory, you could upload your readings

It may just because I have abnormally dry skin, but I callus very easily.
Over the course of a summer I can build up caveman like padding on my feet
if I go barefoot most of the time.  After my first week moving heavy things
at Office Despot, I had a decent set of calluses where my fingers and palms
met as well as fingertips and the outer edge of my palm.

Maybe it's only a real problem for me.  :-)
