Fingerlength - again?

So with men finger length correlates with homosexuality? and in women...jockness?

In all seriousness - who cares? Were they actually looking for this? or was it just stumbled upon?

The length of a girl's ring finger could be an indicator of her future sporting potential, researchers at King's College London said on Thursday.

In the largest study of its kind, hand measurements of 607 female twins aged 25-79 from the UK were compared with the women's lifetime sporting achievements.

The findings, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found that women with ring fingers longer than their index fingers had performed better at running and associated running sports such as soccer and tennis.

The report said detection of sporting potential by examining the ratio between the index and ring fingers "could help identify talented individuals at a pre-competitive stage."

Well... as usual I think I should go a little more ridiculous... From the website "Hands in Scripture"

The fingers represent the cognitive processes of the brain as previously explained in the Cognition Analogy. This is a cognitive model that defines the relationships between the thought processes and the fingers. Once the simple model is understood, the shape of the fingers will be readily seen to represent the thinking behind them. In this model, the mounts of the palm represent the function of the hypothalamus. The first phalanges of the fingers represent personal values, which are the base, or foundation, of thought. The second phalanges represent the internal processing of cognition. After external stimuli are gathered, the internal processing function performs the analysis to draw conclusions. The third phalange represents the thinking of the cerebral cortex where constructive thought and production occur.

Woe to those with knotty knuckles for...

Heavy, pronounced, or knotty knuckles represent responsiveness that is the opposite of babies. They represent people who are striving for control against the double discipline of a pastor-teacher. They have rejected the pastor and the discipline of the Christian life and have received the double punishment of the pastor. Such people may try to reduce life to a set of formulas and attempt to follow them meticulously. This is, of course, legalism. It is a substitute for Bible Doctrine, which only the pastor can teach accurately. Leaders of religious cults may have knotty knuckles.
