You know all this talk about Left Handed people makes me curious about somthing else.

You know the human hand has a set pattern to it for the most part.

Typically the index finger and Ring finger are minutely shorter than the Middle finger and the Pinky is shorter than all three of those.

So my question is how many people have ring fingers longer than both thier middle and index fingers while thier Pinky is practically same length as their index finger

Using Dashes I will demonstrate\

Average Human hand
---- (4 dashes represent Index finger)
-----(5 dashes represent Middle finger
---- (4 dashes represent Ring finger)
--- (3 dashes represent Pinky)

The one I am questioning is like the following

----( 4 index)
-----(5 middle)
------(6 ring)
----(4 pinky)

Just a stupid curious question is all....

If your toes are the same way then chances are pretty good that your ancestors were tree climbers (as opposed to migratory hunters). :D

My index finger is longer than my ring finger - not sure if that is an anomaly or not.

------ (6 Index)
------- (7 middle)
----- (5 Ring)
---- (4 pinky)

I also have really long fingers for a female. :eek:

I think my ancestors were interbred tree climbers with runners. :D

Isn't it because we die using right-handed things? Like chainsaws?

Wow. You're really weird. I'd get a brain cramp watching you write. :p

Thank you - the weird part is, I can't hold it in the normal right handed position - I get a cramp in my hand and my writing is terrible. I also always end up with ink all over the side of my hand thanks to my weird way of holding a pen, though my handwriting is really good by comparison to many people's. Damn Catholic school!

Right-handed for most things(Mousing, writing, two-handed with firearms but favoring right), usually drink with my left hand and can kinda eat with either hand but prefer the right. My cousin's left-handed, though.. And he draws stick-figure comics with issues pretaining to homosexuality and fecal matter in cans. Is this a telling factor that he should be exorcised from this earth by way of gunshot to the head? :D

Thanks for sharing your tales of handedness, my fellow avatars, both offline and online.

In particular though I'd like to nudge attention to one of my original points:

All you left-handed avatars, raise your hands!

If you voted, I graciously hope you voted for your av and not necessarily your flesh-and-blood self behind the keyboard, unless you're both the same in that regard. Tee hee hee.

I am primarily righthanded in my First Life but Torley Jr. is -- or is meant to be -- lefthanded. It could a type of roleplaying for some, even, to learn more about the dominant hand.

Nevertheless, the discussion is welcome. :)

Being lucky enough to be left-handed in RL, I bring my lefty-ness into SL no doubt!
