Was Michael Jackson Gay?

Since I have a Michael Jackson autopsy picture on this blog, a reader sent me this to consider. The reader has been wondering if Michael Jackson was gay. In his research, the reader came across a gay blog where the gay blogger was discussing some of the possible origins of homosexuality.

One of the theories, is the amount of testosterone that a fetus gets in the womb when the mother is pregnant. A proven biological indicator of testosterone received as a fetus, is the length of the index finger compared to the length of the ring finger.

Most men, and those who received healthy doses of testosterone as fetuses, have a ring finger that is longer than the index finger. Many many gay men have the opposite, as shown in the picture below where the index finger is longer than the ring finger.

The reader then went and found this picture of Michael Jackson showing a longer index finger than a ring finger.

Our reader is careful to say that this doesn't prove that Michael Jackson was gay, however it is a sign that many gay men have. You decide for your yourself.

The Tipping Point Revisited on Cosmological Cabbage

In Malcolm Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point", he discusses how things catch fire and become popular with the masses. This blog has several examples of what tipped and what didn't in terms of what hit big on my blog and what didn't. Here are a few examples of topics that did and didn't go over the tipping point and garner thousands of hits on Cosmological Cabbage.


The Wedding Reception at McDonald's was my first huge hit on this blog. It tipped quickly. The venue is on West Bay Street in Nassau, at the McDonalds opposite the British Colonial Hilton Hotel.

I put up over twenty sayings of the Nassau street philosopher called Potcake Says, and it didn't tip at all. Nobody was interested.
Then came the Ghetto Prom. It tipped quickly and still is a big hit today. What gets the big hits is the Freeport girl at St. George High School who showed up to the prom in a casket.

In spite of the fact that Jett Travolta died in the Bahamas, and the attempted $25 million dollar extortion of a Freeport lawyer and ambulance attendant, and a wild trial, the Travolta case did not tip. Is John Travolta's star dimming?

Canadian serial killer Karla Homolka tipped big, tipped early, and is still a huge hit getter on this blog -- thanks to the Nassau Tribune.

This was the biggest tipping point on the blog, bringing in huge numbers. Of course it is the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

This blog is largely an experiment, and quite fascinating. The biggest surprises was the non-tipping of Travolta, and the huge tipping of Karla Homolka.
