Doubt it, as the thumb is not a finger, therefore, the majority would have 8 and the average would be somewhere around high 8's.

Why wouldn't it be a finger? You could exclude it in some cases, but generally it's a finger (as digit).

I didn't make that up, it's a real research that was written like that, I saw it b4 so I thought I'd copy it. Blame the website that I got it from for the mistake.

[Troll King]

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a real research study. It's just as likely that it's made up like other things that people spread through e-mails, blogs and message boards. I'm not saying that it doesn't have any scientific basis, but it has been spread around a lot without any real aticordaicen.

[PolluX]
