How many times is this story about finger length going to get press attention? Are journalists obsessed with this issue? It keeps appearing every few months for one reason or another.
Once again, good thing I’m not a man because my index finger is longer on one hand and shorter on the other. I’m confused enough already without having to worry about that too.

There is also a meme that finger length indicates homosexuality.
The researchers claiming this balderdash need to stick their fingers where the sun don’t shine and stop seeking grant money for dumb projects.
Body composition (along with BMI “standards”) all trace back to eugenic theory (that falsely called “caucasian” a race) and pushed somatotyping of body composition as an idicator of constitutional psychology.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatotype_and_constitutional_psychology
and for those who think that the body scanners at the airports are intrusive, incoming students at Yale had to get naked to get their somatotype pictures taken up into the 1960s. Reportedly there are nude photos of Hillary Clinton, George Bush, and others although the school has claimed that they were destroyed long ago.

All I know is when you prostrate on the examining table for a prostate exam, you’re prone to have a finger stuck up your butt....

It’s like you’re accusing me of ever being serious.

And the lead researcher’s last name is Eeles. How perfect is that?
