is your index finger longer than your ring finger?

http://www.uknetguide.co.uk/Latest-...length-to-prostate-cancer-risk-800265478.html

mine is slightly. apparently i have a lower risk of getting prostate cancer because of this

 

[Rotty]

they only say that as you can't stick your ring finger up your **** far enough to test

 

[CliffyBiro]

Only because you can stick it further in to check.

EDIT: BEATEN!

No, mine is noticeably shorter. I'm going to die

 

[Adsta]

mine are about the same.... I really don't see how this is relevant to cancer but hey im not medically trained so

 

[cm1179]

too slow i'm afraid, skippi

 

[Abraham]

Mine goes higher, but also starts higher, not sure if it's actually longer

Tried it have we Rotty ?

Having a longer index finger makes you gay doesnt it?

Less testosterone in the womb makes longer index fingers, less test in a man makes you gay

Mine seem identical.

The funny thing about this story is that it might be equally valid to say you're at a higher trisk of breast cancer if you're called Susan instead of Jane, because just from random variation one name will suffer more incidences than another. Doesn't mean anything.

Except that this is being based on finger length comparisons which is much better to base something on rather than a name, given that finger length and its cause (low test in womb making longer index finger) is physiological.

Yes, if you are called Osama then your expected lifespan is less than other men of a similar age

That was made up, I'm just saying that if someone made the link the observation would surely be equally as useless.

However I've now read the BBC article and am slightly more convinced.

Yeah, ok the name thing was a dumb example .

 

[BlastRadius]

I have no fingers as my hands are made of scissors.

This is what I expected the thread to be about. I was all ready with my "lulz, were were u in liek 1999?" post

Apparently your index finger is longer than your ring finger if you were exposed to high levels of testosterone in the womb, so they are hypothesising it's something to do with that. Mine is shorter btw
