Study: Penis size is related to length of fingers

If you're trying to determine the size of a guy's penis through his clothes, it's not the size of his hands or feet that matters, it's the length of his fingers, at least according to a questionable study recently conducted by Korean researchers. A team of doctors examined 144 men and found that the lower the ratio of the lengths of the index and ring fingers on the right hand, the longer the dude's penis. There's nothing inherently controversial with these findings, until you learn how these measurements were obtained. According to a report in the L.A. Times:

One member of the team carefully measured the lengths of the index and ring fingers on the subject's right hand before surgery — left hands are thought to be more variable. A second team member then measured penis length immediately after the subject had been anesthetized. The length was measured both when the penis was flaccid and when it had been stretched as much as possible. Stretched length is thought to correlate to erect length, the team wrote. The team found that, in general, the lower the ratio of the lengths of the two fingers, the longer the stretched length of the penis.

Yikes, I sure hope these guys knew that they'd be turned into X-rated Stretch Armstrongs before they signed on to participate in this study. Also, are we sure the length of a pulled penis equals that of an erect one? I'd like to see the science on that. In the meantime, we'll continue to speculate the old-fashioned way — shoe size, it is.
