Muzman is probably thinking of estrogen.

And here all this time I thought the strategic use of the middle finger was how these people garnered success.:tsktsk:

I want to know who the hell decided 'I'm gonna measure these successful people's fingers... I bet that's their secret', and further, who paid them to do it!

Testosterone. Known effect on finger length ratios. Male competitiveness, risk-taking, thrill-seeking and bravado. Its not a big leap from there really.

Makes sense to me, but probably good to remember:
A -> B & C [i.e., A-hormone level "causes" B-finger length & C-financial success] is not the same thing as B -> C.

Yeah, I wonder how many useless fuck-ups they surveyed to determine if there's also a correlation on that side.
Universities have been doing the most pointless and biased studies known to man for about the past decade. It pisses me off people get paid money to research this kind of bollocks.

I wonder if they've done the study analyzing the relationship between headline-catching research summaries and university science department investment dollars.

Yeah, one of them 'nad juices anyway.
(I hadn't heard of that category before. I think I was hoping against hope it was some hormone that produces Marylin Mansons or something)
