A recent study by pychologists has revealed a correlation between male finger lengths and aggression. Specifically the ratio of the index finger (second digit) to the ring finger (fourth digit) is inversely related to aggression in males. In other words if you have a short index finger you are more likely to be aggro! How did the researchers determine finger length? No not a ruler! They used the GIMP measure tool to determine length in pixels of fingers from photographs of the subjects. Interesting how entrenched open source software is becoming in the science community. The link above is to a subscription only journal. The story on aggression can be found on Yahoo.
