Your Retro Guy: Lois Lane, Superman's Girlfriend Dies, What Your Finger Tells You About Your Masculinity

The Daily Planet-July 3, 2016 Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane Dies

Minnesota-born Noel Neill's ambition was to be a journalist like her father, the editor of a Minneapolis newspaper. However, she was hired by Bing Crosby to sing at the Turf Club at the race track in Del Mar, California (Crosby was one of the owners). Shortly thereafter, in 1941, she was signed to a contract by Paramount Pictures.

She got early experience in television by hosting and performing on several experimental programs broadcast locally in Los Angeles in the late 1940s, and it was around that time that she began appearing in serials, first at Columbia and then for Republic.

While she is best known for playing Lois Lane in the TV series Adventures of Superman (1952) beginning in the second season in 1953. She actually first played Lois in the 1948 serial Superman (1948). She replaced Phyllis Coates in the part on the TV series when Coates was offered a leading part in another TV series and left the show. When the series ended in 1957, Neill retired from the industry.

George Reeves (January 5, 1914 – June 16, 1959) was an American actor. He is best known for his role as Superman in the 1950s television program Adventures of Superman

His death at age 45 from a gunshot remains a polarizing topic; the official finding was suicide, but some believe that he was murdered or the victim of an accidental shooting…according to Noel, Reeves did not die by his own hand as he was too happy and was in the process of planning a new TV series to update the Superman franchise and so the mystery lives on.

What the Length of Your Ring Finger Can Tell You About Your Masculinity

Stop what you’re doing and look at your hands.

Is your ring finger longer than your index finger?

If so, you were likely exposed to higher levels of testosterone while you were in your mother’s womb.

Is your index finger longer than your ring finger?

Then you were exposed to lower levels of T as a fetus.

So what?

Well, while it might sound like hokey palm reading, researchers are finding that the ratio between the length of your ring and index fingers may in fact correlate to your prenatal exposure to T, and have a significant influence on your body, brain, and behavior well into adulthood.

How strong is this correlation and what exactly does it foretell? I’ve dived deep into all the available research to sort myth from fact, and present this comprehensive look at what digit ratio really means for your masculinity.

Penis Length

A recent study out of South Korea found a correlation between 2D:4D ratio and penis length. Men with lower 2D:4D ratios tend to have longer penises when flaccid, while men with higher 2D:4D ratios have shorter penises. The researchers called for more studies on penis length and 2D:4D ratio in men from other countries.

Dr. Manning has been at the forefront of researching and curating research about correlations between 2D:4D ratios and a wide variety of traits like aggressiveness, math ability, and even sperm count. His book Digit Ratio highlights much this research.

The website Finger Digit Ratio News posts a lot of the research coming out of the world of digit ratio studies.

For insights about the T surge that happens prenatally, I found True Nature and Testosterone: Action, Deficiency, and Substation extremely useful.

Each offers a different balance of speed, exercise, cost, comfort and pollution. You could argue, though, that there’s room for another mode, one that fills in an important empty spot on that spectrum: the electric bike."
