Boys with Longer Ring Fingers are Better at Math

slashthedot writes "While it is well known that boys have longer ring fingers as compared to index fingers, now some researchers say that the longer the ring finger ratio to index finger, the better boys are at math. In girls, the shorter the ring finger to index finger ratio, the better is their verbal skills. 'The link, according to the researchers, is that testosterone levels in the womb influence both finger length and brain development.'"

    "beach boys" was not capitalized, so we must assume you are not referring to the pop group.

    I'll be avoiding THAT beach. Yucko.

    You loved him when he stood in the UN and equated George Bush to Satan and recommended that all Americans read a book from that Capitalism poster-child Noam Chomsky, but how about now that he's shutting down tv stations that criticize his tin-pot dictator antics? How do you like him now, bitches? Last I checked, Bush hasn't pulled the plug on the Clinton News Network (CNN).

    Chances are that you have neither a big dick nor a longer ring finger.
    My dick is exactly 3 times longer than my ring finger and I have long fingers!
