Why men’s success with women all depends on their hands

Men whose ring fingers are longer than their index fingers are seen as better bets by women, a study found. By contrast those seen as wimpier sorts will have longer index fingers.

I’ve heard this before!

“John recovering said, “Dang, and here I figured it was gonna be an easy way to be big hero with all the women folk and I could pick and chose who I shared my favors with.” Marie piped up, “Oh, I don’t think after I’m done with you, there would be much of a ‘favor’ left to impress the ladies. Don’t forget it was you who put me in the FERT-TILE state with all your fancy talking. Sister Euphemia warned us about boys like you.” Everyone was chuckling. June jumped on looking right at Brian, “You know Miss Marie, I’ve often wondered what you saw in this oaf. He may be pick of the litter. But it’s a litter of runts. Too dumb to see what they are being offered.” That got a few more chuckles. Jody finished up the sexual belittlement with “Yes, Ladies, we should throw them all out and advertise for some replacements. Let’s see we’d need a Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, and maybe even a little Bob Hope for comic relief. You know what they say about long noses and big feet.” To which all the men were mentally feeling noses and extending toes.” — CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 133

So check your hands!

At first she thought it was a piece of glass.

But on closer inspection, Beth Gilbertson, from Colorado, realised she had just unearthed an 8.66 carat diamond.

Ms Gilberston was doing her regular treasure hunt at the Crater of Diamonds State Park on Tuesday when she made the valuable discovery.

She started visiting the park after seeing it featured on the Travel Channel’s The Best Places to Find Cash and Treasures which includes a segment on the Crater of Diamonds.

Have to put this on the list. Better than playing a slot machine?

MONEY: The dollar is sinking faster than the Titanic?

In terms of gold: Assessing real estate values in terms of gold. At its peak, the housing market in March 2007, the median US home price was $262,600, which was equivalent to 340.6 ounces of gold. Today’s median income price is $186,100 or 109.2 ounces of gold. So in terms of real money, gold, the US median home price has lost 47% since 2007.

Applying the same measurements to the Dow, from the end of 2001 to the end of 2008 an investment in the Dow would have lost 81% of its purchasing power in terms of gold (statistic courtesy Larry Edelson of the outstanding “Uncommon Wisdom” advisory).

The great and harsh lesson of history now stares Americans in the face — no fiat currency in history has ever survived.

It’s nothing but the inherent value of the dollar. It’s zero.
