How do you do that ?
Is that the limit of the counting method or could you go higher ?

I can count up to 1023 (2**10-1)using both hands by using the fingers as 
binary digits, and I have seen people count to 10 on one hand - count 
from 1 to 5 normally (I.... is 1, IIIII is 5) and then go on bending 
fingers in reverse order ( .IIII is 6, ..III is 7 etc.)-

But I never heard of counting specifically to 144.
