After getting up this morning, I decide to make myself a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Now this is what I came across on the instant oatmeal packet:

The distance between your elbow and wrist is the same length as your foot!

I've been wondering ever since is this a "Freaky Fact" or mere "Fiction"? Could the oatmeal company simply be making this one up?

That's interesting. Did you try it? I did and my foot is smaller. It's a fiction for me. LOL. There's another one that I have heard which is "The distance from your middle finger of one hand to the middle finger of the next hand (ARM SPAN), tells you your height."

 

[dpmPOD]

True. The length of the radius (from styloid to head) is generally about equal to the length of the foot. Same with arm span and height.

the size of your fist is usually the size of your heart.

"Your hand is bigger than your face."

[When the sucker places his hand over his face to verify, that's when you shove his hand into his own face]

[Nope, never happened to me]

It's a prank.

It's actually pretty funny. Basically the person puts their hand on their face and then when they're trying to compare size, you hit their hand into their face. This may or may not cause pain and/or embarrassment.

Oh here is a fun one from Panic Watch!

If index finger is shorter than ring finger you might be in trouble, study suggests. In fact, having a shorter index finger may double the risk of osteoarthritis for all people, the British team of scientists said. I can see you all checking your hands now. Don't forget, past studies have also shown that short index fingers can increase your risk of homosexuality, good SAT scores, scoring more goals in soccer, aggressiveness, and dozens of other things.
