I just checked my news rss feed and the first info was: Long finger makes a successful equity trader. Made sense to me, because in German "long finger" (Langfinger) does also mean pickpocket. I was curious. The news told me in huge words, that men have a greater chance of success in equity trading, if their ringfinger is longer than their index finger. Good to know, eh?

Besides this absolutely life-saving information, the best part was the writing itself. I wouldn't have dreamed of someone calling a university (Cambridge) "the spearhead of finger studies".

Highlight of my day: Today at university I waited for my next course to start, when a friend passed by. He asked me if I wanted to watch the movie "Perceval" with him in the uni cinema. Because I hadn't heard about the film I wanted to know from when it is and at what time it would begin. He didn't know, but suddenly a girl, who sat next to me, answered in his stead. And then she went on: "The film has something to do with the dark age. I think it's about the holy grail, you know?" My friend and I had to hold back the laughter and a lot of eyerolling. I wanted to tell her: "No really? Perceval and dark age? No way! He is a knight! Dark age, no way! And a grail? What incident! It so happens that Perceval is THE knight of the holy grail. I highly doubt the film is about it." *headdesk*
