You will find that what you are referring to is called the "Divine Proportion"... google it... you will be amazed at how EVERYTHING in this world has a Divine Proportion to it... everything is in relationship to everything else.
If your really interested... here is a couple of links that explains it...
lol we are all idiots so it might be a little much for some of us... took me a few reads to get it...

Actually this isn't the same as divine proportion which is the study of measurements and their correlation to a ratio of 1.618.
The study of size correlations between body proportions is called anthropomorphic and there are many parts of our bodies that it applies to, such as the measurement from finger tip to finger tip of our outstretched arms is exactly the same as your height What bothers most people about the forearm/foot comparison is that your forearm looks so much bigger than you imagine your feet as being.
Actually, if you look at the first link i posted, (seems darkened for some reason) it describes the 1.618 ratio as the "golden ratio" but most refer it to the "divine proportion". Everything that is alive on this planet adheres to this ratio... and even some things that are not tangible, like music, also follow this ratio... it is VERY interesting... I am going to start another post about this, as i do not want to hijack JD's thread...
