Most people i tell this to say "no way" think about it.. then measure it, then realize it's pretty darn close. Everyone i know who has done it is within 1in, tell me if you expirience otherwise...

Heh, you're right...my first reaction was "Pfft, not even close." But I took my shoe off and my forearm is actually just a little bit longer.

I understand that the distance between your outstretched thumb and index finger is roughly equivelant to the length of your penis, which is commonly equated to foot size, so why not? ;)

If i measure the distance from where my wrist meets my hand, and to the end of my middle finger, its exactly the length of my penis.

I find my penis to be roughly as long as the distance from the base of my penis to its tip.

I can picture of thousands of people in cubicles trying this out for themselves.
