Length of ring and index fingers 'linked to sexuality'

Women whose left index and ring fingers are different lengths are more likely to be lesbians, a study suggests.

Scientists measured the fingers of 18 pairs of female identical twins, where one was straight and the other gay.

On average, the lesbians, but not the straight twins, had different sized index and ring fingers, typically a male trait, but only on the left hand.

In most cases, that new identity is one that the original identity would strongly object to if it knew in advance what was in store. (p.21)

His strategy, "serve and help people until they are dependent on you, then control them."

The report (from the Japanese bar association), which estimates that only 1 percent of consumer fraud victims complain, concludes that $165 million is only the 'tip of the iceberg' (p.24)
