Living Fossils in your fingers and BrainSex

              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 a wonderful documentary by BBC, it was shown whether you , in general,will make an eye contact with the person you talk to or will win a race in an athletic meet is determined by the testosterone released by you in the womb when you were only 16 week old foetus! Moreover, amount of the hormone secreted by you affects the length of your ring and index fingers. The longer your ring finger relative to your index finger means more the hormone you released giving you an efficient heart and vascular system. In other words the larger the ring finger than the index finger implies more maleness of your brain.
               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!

  1. truly nice funda....or call it a nicely true funda...btw if we reverse engineer the funda....will the largeness of the index finger as compared to the ring finger indicate the feminism of d brain... :)
    well my stats:
    ring fing=7.4cm
    ind fing=7.0cm...

  2. @abc (aka varun) : well i think that should reflect feminism of brain, but am absolutely not the correct person to answer that! But yes I would try to search for it.And ur stats reflect ur brain is very masculine!!

  3. hmm, good one there
    but 1 thing "mera toh brain hi nai hai uska sex toh chor hi de" LOLZZZ

    ok

    Index Finger:7.8
    Ring Finger :7.0

  4. @navin-well no brain cud b a good enuf indicative for feminism...lollzz... :)

  5. @varun- cool one varun but girls reading this post plz don't take this against u... no offence meant.

  6. well came to know bout dis funda from the same source of documentaries!i hv crtain exceptions!!!!

  7. as the world might say so do i when we are talking about testesrone levels are we really concerned with athletism or the the man we can be in bed so as shakespeare would say "to be or not to be'" that is to be a man no longer depends on what we possess bt what our finger says i wonder why the chappel finger is the middle one and not the ring finger but i certainly know now why girls want to cage the ring finger. in conclusion a big gung ho to navin the scientific moron(genius) at its peak

  8. @kingshuk What a viewpoint!! never thot it that way..."why girls want to cage the ring finger" !! wonderful!!
