Ok, I still believe palm to finger proportions have everthing to do with the stubbiness of fingers, but I have revised my theory which may have been proven wrong by Maria; I'm not conceding completely.
(By the by, Terry, whom I freely acknowledge as Queen of Proper English and Grammar, thinks my semi-colon usage is correct! Wahoo! I will be using freely, henceforth.)
Today I took notice of the hands of one of my fellow carpoolers (save the planet....) She's tiny, her hands are tiny: Her fingers are not stubby! (Branching out here with a colon.) I refrained from asking her to hold her fingers up against her palm since she was driving; however, I made this assessment--her palm width is like a good inch narrower than mine.
Perhaps tomorrow I'll ask her to compare hands with me.
Actually, with my classmates I'm not completely out of the closet when it comes to obsessions, phobias peculiarities, etc. Maybe I'll wait on that hand comparison thing, just a bit.
Sonja you are just too funny.
ReplyDeleteI never have anything funny or interesting to write about! I got your email and invited you to my blog so hopefully you got it! if not, then just go to www.malcolmandericka.blogspot.com and use the email you gave me to login! Let me know if it doesn't work!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I'm not going to put up any links to articles, because I like my so-called "facts" to be unsubstantiated. So, I guess the ring finger to index finger size ratio is linked to the prenatal mom's stress-hormones during pregnancy (Cortisol, androgens). Longer ring finger than index finger, like mine, and apparently from the photo, Sojay's, indicate high stress levels for the mom, and in the individual possessing this simian trait, more aggressive behavior. So, I've read that stock trader's with this trait do better in high risk finance, and, no surprise, many criminals possess this trait. Of course, now Liz will do a little google-ing, and refute my statement. (I guess that sounds aggressive too.)
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck?? My ring and index fingers are the same height! I'm no monkey.
