Washington Post, section A, page 3.
interesting article about male testosterone relative to the success of stock traders.

early exposure to testosterone in the womb results in a greater sensitivity to testosterone which correlates not only to an increased appetite for risk and a greater comfort in taking risks, but also to boosted confidence and to more successful results from those 'risky' decisions.
such exposure apparently also correlates to increased athletic and musical ability.

here's the interesting thing. the greater the womb exposure, the greater the difference in length between the ring finger and the index finger (longer ring finger).

hmmm,'wonder if there's any correlation to hang gliding?

...'wonder how many have just looked at their fingers?
