A little medical info here. Each part of the body has its own nerve cell area in the brain. It is like a map. These areas can be measured for things like reaction time.
For instance the thumb and the baby finger have a quicker response time and the fingers in the middle are somewhat inhibited by the “crossfire” of the two outer fingers.
Scientists used an image on a monitor that represented all 10 fingers. The subjects had to press the corresponding keys to what was being marked on the image. The outside fingers were the fastest, the middle finger the slowest.
I think they did not do their research properly because I am pretty sure that I can get my middle finger up much quicker than my pinky, especially in a driving simulation test.
A smile... :))))
ReplyDeleteNext time someone cuts me off, I'm giving them the pinkie!
ReplyDeleteI've seem quite a few flying fingers in my time and I have to agree with you:@)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! brilliant observation, uncanny how I've noticed the same thing! ;)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
You are so funny! I love this!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha - it is amazing how fast that middle finger seems to appear at times isn't it!
ReplyDeleteWho dreams up these scientific tests, anyway? I am watching my temper these days and that middle finger hasn't made an appearance for some time! Muttering under my breath hasn't stopped, though. I figure as long as no one actually hears me, it's okay. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnother study that wastes money for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteOH! My middle finger goes up MUCH more quicly then the others! LOL
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and say "pah" to the expensive and waste-of-time study. Middle finger, or indeed two fingers like your picture but facing the other way around would be a rude gesture in the UK!
ReplyDeleteI have been using the pinkie ever since we switched to Metric.
