The World Is Run by Robots
When I opened up this vaguely interesting article about male finger length and aggression, I was pleased to see that Web advertisers are working their rigorously rational magic: next to the article is an ad for nail-fungus medicine. Get it? “Fingers”=ads about fingers and toes. I love that.
Anyway, here are some interesting bits from the story:
“A University of Alberta study finds that measuring a man's index finger length relative to his ring finger length predicts his predisposition to being physically aggressive.”
“In another study, to be published later this year, Hurd found that men with more "feminine" finger ratios tended to be more prone to depression.”

i swear to god lauren, where the hell do you find these articles?!
wait a minute. if s is the center of the universe, and now we find out that v rules the world, where does that leave the rest of us?
where we are already, i suppose, which, in my case, seems to be sniffing around the news of the world and handpicking it like apples and slicing it up for your pleasure. at least i get paid to do the sniffing, if not for the posting on this blog...ah, but you all and your comments are payment enough.(somebody help. this day has been hellacious, and it's only 11:30 a.m. cries for help work well in parentheses, don't they?)
yes, well, i'm quite sure the world could be thrown off balance by my particular situation today, so i've left it ambiguous so as not to burden the others. when the universe wobbles on its rotation, it's no fun for anyone.
let's just think happy thoughts for our down-and-out pseudo-friend in ny, shall we?
