Brain sex refers to the maleness or femaleness of one's brain. To some this may seem to be an absurd topic to talk about but trust me although you are a male( or a female) your brain does not behave accordingly in the various situations of your life!! In some situations your brain may behave as a male's brain would do and at other times as a female's brain(irrespective of your gender)!! Yes, of course most of the times it should behave in accordance with your gender.
In an experiment six athletes were made to compete in a race, prior to which the measurements of their fingers were studied and they were tagged as to who should come 1st, 2nd. 3rd and so on according to this theory. The larger the ring finger than index finger, more is he likely to win the race. Can you guess what was the outcome of the experiment? Was the theory successful or just a waste of time? After they had completed their race they were made to stand in the order of their positions in the race and their sealed tags determined by pure theoretical study were opened. I almost fell off my chair when I saw the person who was theoretically tagged as "1st" actually came first!! Out of six athletes' tags four matched!
Well, this experiment surely makes me question the future of international competitions. If we can determine the winner of such events by the finger measurements of the athletes what would it lead to?? Even if we can't be hundred percent sure about the winner we can improve the chances by involving a person with larger ring finger to participate in the event! Imagine, whether it be cricket, hockey or football can this controversial yet breakthrough experiment help us select the team which can make us champions?
I would be glad to know similar questions coming in your mind, and would be more than happy to answer any queries related to the topic.
Have a nice time analyzing the fossils in your fingers till I come back with another topic, Hope this was an interesting one!!
Request: When you are at it (that is analyzing your fingers), why not write your index finger and ring finger measurement here and make it all the more interesting!
My ring finger measures :7.8cm
and index finger :7.4cm
Note: Refer to the image above for the method of measurement and don't worry if you don't have vernier calipers. Normal rulers would be fine!
The title of this post makes it pretty clear that this is the first blog of my life. It has taken a lot of persuation from my friends to make me start writing and so at the onset I would like to thank them for all their efforts and inspirations (in the form of their blogs and in so many other ways) they provided me with to be a blogger!!
