Really short index fingers on men don't mean they're gay or straight, the study says; it means they probably have lots of older brothers...
...similar finger study at Rutgers University found a considerable overlap between gay and straight women, but according to yet other recent studies, women with long index fingers are more fertile. Moreover, men with long ring fingers tend to be better soccer players and musicians, as well as more depressed and virile. So pretty much all we can tell from the pictures of politicians' hands, above, is that they like to wave...
