I can't quite fit the elphant joke in here.

Something about measuring out in quarts...

[headsonpikes]

I can't believe no one is calling finger #2 the TRIGGER finger!

Jeez...y'all need a whack upside your head!

These results are consistent with the hypothesis that testosterone has an organizational effect on adult physical aggression in men.

Well, this adds some clarity to the discussion. IOW, they agree with a pre-concieved notion that men should be drugged to reduce their testosterone levels so they won't ever want to go to war and kill people and break things.

I agree with the previous poster who called this what it is - JUNK SCIENCE!!!!!!

And, considering that this comes from a Canadian University, their conclusion underscores MY conclusion that people who live in a socialist wonderland want to hold hands and sing "Kumbaya" with the Muslims that are about to cut their heads off.

Too bad Canadian men have succumbed to the socialist wussy policy.

Since Canada is ceding their national defense to the US, the men in Canada are doing other manly things like developing quilting clubs and makeup classes.

Indeed...I think you hit the proverbial nail on its head: I had not had my second cup.

Who has that photo of John Kerry and his very looooong finger, pointing at something? Exactly which finger was that?

[texasbluebell]

I can't believe no one is calling finger #2 the TRIGGER finger!

Gosh, and our ancestors didn't even need a scientific study to figure that out!

[texasbluebell]

How about this one?

Good point.

[snarks_when_bored]

My second finger and fourth finger are precisely the same length...I'll be glad to either discuss it with you or kick your butt!

Since Canada is ceding their national defense to the US...

*gentle cough*

Actually, they won't let us shoot down missles over their territory, even if they are targeted at their own cities, unless we get their permission first...

*shrug* Takes one to know one.

And violent criminals have a new excuse to relieve them of any responsibility for their own actions.

The new defense will be Long Finger Syndrome. Wonder how long it will be before a lawyer tries it?

Even scarier....how long will it be before there is discussion of how to control the amount of testerone a fetus is exposed to in the womb? Will there be calls for protection of hyper-testosterone exposed fetuses from abortion? Probably NOT!

If it doesn't fit, you have to acquit.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

My second finger is shorter than the fourth, but I can still get my gloves on. On the other hand, I've never been able to wear boxers.

[Pharmboy]

So I assume that from now on you will examine the finger length/ratios of all prospective suitors.

( :-D

[cyborg]

Yeah and his feet.

[awelliott]

My left hand qualifies as very aggressive, but my right hand is normal. I guess I'm supposed to go try to beat the daylights out of someone with my dominant arm tied behind my back.........

[null and void]

A short arm inspection might be appropriate, too...

[cyborg]

I'll just have to look at everything then :o)

OK. Here's me:
