I crack my knuckles and my knees all the time. I used to always be told that it would cause arthritis, but I have recently discovered that to be untrue.

I have actually heard the opposite. It is really good for them. I have never cracked my knuckles or joints on purpose, now I have no knuckles to hold my rings on, so I have to get them made small. Also when it rains or gets hot, my knuckles swell. Keep on cracking them, it keeps them moving.

Contrary to popular belief, it won't give you arthitis. But it can lead to a decrease in grip strength. It may also get you clobbered since many people find it extremely annoying.

no research has ever proven it to be bad for your joints... its just bad if it annoys the people you're around...
