Google on "digit ratio" and you'll find plenty.
In a nutshell, it goes like this:
In women the index finger is normally longer than the ring finger.
In men, the ring finger is normally longer than the index finger.
It's a function of early fetal exposure to testosterone.
If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, the chances are that your brain has also been exposed to male-type levels of testosterone during its early development as has the rest of your body.
If you're a woman and your ring finger is longer than your index finger, the chances are high that you'll have significant male characteristics and there's also a much higher incidence of lesbianism among women with ring fingers longer than index fingers.
FWIW, my ring fingers are both longer than my index fingers. I'm definitely heterosexual, but I do recognize a lot of male characteristics in myself -- underdeveloped breasts, male-type facial hair etc.
