Nostrils
Do you suppose there is a genetic correlation between the size (outside diameter) of a person's finger and the inside diameter of that same person's nostril?
Could it be possible that a person's nostril grows to be the exact right size to allow the fingers that belong to the same person growing the nose to fit INSIDE said nostril without difficulty.
This would predispose the person (with genetically coupled finger and nostril size) to better cleansing/maintenance ability, which COULD lead to a more attractive appearance and thus to more success in perpetuating their own (nose-size-linked-to-finger-size) genes.
Is it perhaps the other way around, and the nostril grows to be the size of the finger because it actually gets stressed (stretched, pulled, etc) by that finger, and a person, in effect, molds their nose to the size of their own fingers through the course of nasal care.
On a lighter note...

I've seen some people with massive nostrils, and normal sized fingers. I've also seen a nose with strange semi-collapsed nostrils, where only the pinky could invade.
There you have it, proof of creationism!

Angsty Rob may be getting away with himself with the "proof for creationism" idea. (Rob, you took discrete math - proof by induction) Besides that, it's good to hear there's some inadequately sized nostrils out there (as awful as it must be for the owners of said nostrils) and it's good to see there's other folks out there taking notice.
Good on you Big Angsty!
