The sound of one hand typing?Penis Size Study: Finger Length Ratio Indicator Of Penis Size
Researchers in South Korea think they've finally been able to crack the code that indicates the size of a man's penis, and it comes down to a ratio of finger length on the right hand.
A new study published in the Asian Journal of Andrology says that the lower the ratio between the length of a man's index finger and the length of his ring finger, the longer his penis.
From Reuters:"According to our data ... the shorter index (second) finger than ring (fourth) finger you have, the longer stretched penile length you have," wrote Tae Beom Kim at the urology department of Gachon University Gil Hospital in Incheon, South Korea, in reply to questions from Reuters.
Previous studies have shown strong evidence that prenatal testosterone may determine finger development as well as penile length, a relationship that Kim and his colleagues launched a study to focus on.
Researchers at Cachon University in Incheon, Korea studied 144 men over the age of 20 who were getting urological surgery. One researcher measured the index and ring fingers on each patient's right hand. Another researcher then measured the "stretched" and flaccid lengths of the patients' penises after anesthesia.
The researchers "suggest that the digit ratio can predict adult penile size and that the effects of prenatal testosterone may in part explain the differences in adult penile length," according to the abstract of the study.
News of this study will most likely have men all over examining their right hands all day today.

A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."See, e.g., above^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned."
It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
"Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned."
OR
"That team totally pwned us."
In Woody's not at all humble opinion, Ayn Rand's contributions to cinema, literature and philosophy are equivalent to the contributions of coprophagy to the art of cuisine.
Woody regards "Tweet" and "Twitter" to be the cries of our rhetorical canaries being extinguished in the IT coal-mine.
Remember when teachers, public employees, libraries, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?
Clarence Darrow, of a slightly earlier generation of Mandarins, said "a criminal is a predatory person without sufficient resources to start a business"...or words to that effect.
