Are they sure it’s not the doctor’s index finger?

I have an excuse. I broke both index fingers when I was a kid. Both little piggies too.

Assuming of course that you have ten fingers as opposed to twelve.

Guess which finger I'm holding up now?


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I think this study is talking about the length of the DOCTOR’s finger.

If his finger is too short, he can’t detect cancerous lumps.

The relative length of the two fingers in question...appears to be a marker of different levels of sex hormones to which a baby is exposed in the womb, with less testosterone correlating with a longer index finger.

Earlier research has shown that testosterone promotes the growth of prostate cancer.

So, if you have a long index finger, you have a lower cancer risk, but a higher fondness for show tunes.

Wait a minute. Aren't these the same guys who stated, about two years ago, that if a man's index and ring fingers were the same length, there's higher probability for being homo?

these guys are pulling our fingers.

It's not testosterone as much as it is its conversion to DHT. 5-Alpha reductase is the problem, even worse when it comes to enlarged prostate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They’re also likely homosexual or effeminate or no sex drive. or they are just very young. A short index finger and a long ring finger are secondary characteristics resulting from testosterone. In extreme cases, even the pinky finger is enlarged and as long as the index finger.

The thumb is the first finger to grow and to stop growing, followed by the index finger, and so on down the line until the pinky is the last to stop growing. As a small child, the strongest finger on your hand is your thumb. Then a little older, your index finger becomes the strongest. By adulthood, males have the middle finger the strongest on their hand and usually by middle age the ring finger becomes tied with the middle in terms of strength. Often older men will have the ring finger the strongest on their hand.

If we could live long enough, Womens’ hands would get there eventually but it would take twice as long or longer.

I would say my ring finger is slightly stronger than my middle finger and I’m only middle aged. They are so much stronger than my thumb and index finger nowdays I don’t even use thumbs and index fingers when I need to grip something tight.

If you wanna see what our hands would look like(proportionwise) if we lived to be 500years, take a look at the toes of a frog. It wouldn’t surprise me if a frog’s toes grow in the same sequence as human fingers do.

The words “finger” and “prostate” should not appear in the same sentence.
