Bad Knees?

I was browsing through the August issue of Good Housekeeping last week when I came across a little article relating the length of your ring finger to knee arthritis. Here's what it said:

Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? If so, you're up to three times more likely to develop arthritis of the knee than women whose ring fingers are the same length as or shorter than their pointers.



I have to wonder who comes up with these studies? I would never even have thought to find the link between finger length and arthritis. It just goes to show, there is a study for everything. And according to this particular study, I'm in big trouble. On the brighter side, my long fingers make for great piano playing hands!
