Dept. of Useless Trivia

According to Yahoo News, a new study from the UK "found that women with ring fingers longer than their index fingers had performed better at running and associated running sports such as soccer and tennis." The authors suggest that their work "could help identify talented individuals at a pre-competitive stage."

I checked, and sure enough, my ring finger is decidedly longer than my index finger. My family would probably find it funny to learn that I demonstrate this characteristic; in my immediate family I am considered the least athletic (although I do exercise 5-7 times a week when not in the grasp of a horrendous cold).
