278 - 2d:4d digit ratio

I don't think I've posted this before. It was on a list of things I should post but that usually doesn't mean anything. But I digress. Here's the first paragraph from one of the better articles on this subject and then a link to the whole article. For more information than you ever wanted to know about the subject, google "2d:4d digit ratio".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take a look at your right-hand. Which of your fingers is longer: your ring finger, or your index finger? Surprisingly, a passing stranger who noticed a difference in length between these two fingers (and who had handy a copy of John Manning's book Digit Ratio: A Pointer to Fertility, Behavior and Health) might infer some very personal characteristics about you. With no more data than that gleaned from a passing glance at your hands, a stranger might infer whether you are likely to have homosexual inclinations, are highly fertile, may eventually suffer from a heart attack or breast cancer, have musical aptitude or sporting prowess, and a surprisingly long list of other characteristics.
