Every guy out in Freeperland is now looking at their hands.

Yep! And I just discovered something. On my left hand the ring finger is slightly longer than the index finger, but on the right hand it is slightly shorter. Does that indicate I’m well balanced?
But they have been broken so many times that they are a bit crooked and hard to measure.

And all this time I just thought is was an indicator of how long one's slong was.

[R. Scott]

So, basically, the article is stating that men with shorter second fingers are pansies!

And subject to immune deficiencies (HIV?).

[Pharmboy]

Well, I assume you ALWAYS did that...

[Iwo Jima]

On the other hand, I've never been able to wear boxers.

Uh, you're not supposed to wear boxers on your hand.

[Pharmboy]

That is one LONG 4th finger...

"Hey, I've been looking to buy a bridge...do you have one for sale in the Brooklyn area?"

Brooklyn area?

I'll check, but I think it was sold. ;)

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, and none of the women are. Objective achieved.

I'm so glad we don't have to see him pointing it at us for 4 years.

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

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

ROFLMAO!!!!

You gotta be from Clevland!!!

From the Aberdeen Bestiary...

"The first, the thumb, pollex, is so called because it surpasses, pollere, the others in strength and power.
"The second finger, index, is also known as salutaris or demonstratorius, the greeting or indicating finger, because we generally use it in greeting, showing or pointing.
"The third finger is called impudicus, lewd; it is frequently used to express the pursuit of something shameful.
"The fourth is the ring finger, anularis, because it is the on which a ring is worn.
"The fifth finger is called auricularis, because we scrape our ear, auris, with it."

*gentle cough*

Yep. And, if we believe it is headed our way, that won't stop us.

[Piquaboy]

Looks like a picture of my proctologist.

Technically the THUMB is not a finger. So Mr Pointer is the FIRST finger; The Bird is the SECOND finger; The Ringie is the THIRD finger; and the Pinkie is the FOURTH.

If you have a short Bird Finger you are a "submissive".

[G.Mason]

"When I was young us girls us to do the Pinkie sign as a joke to how a man is lacking in size regarding that other important male part."

What?

There is another important part?

Hey Ma? ... Dad? ...

OTOH, if it's headed towards Ottowa, we'll have plenty of time to get permission, and negotiate a price...

[G.Mason]

Congratulations!

Reading your post and seeing Lazamataz's reply, gave me an indication of great entertainment ahead.

After taking care of a few chores, I come back to find it has more than lived up to my original assessment.

Well done! ;)

[Pharmboy]

Well, for some reason, the science folk started the numbering at the other end. But, thanks for your post...very interesting.

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...

Let one of their cities get hit, and they won't be waffling about permission--they'll be too busy begging for help.

Change HMOs...
