honestly about the 5 fingers thing i like to think that if they have 5 fingers they are part of the society because Mabel and Dipper just recently came to gravity falls so they would have no way of knowing about the society and maybe at a certain age they join the society they inexplicably get another finger because here http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120814040741/gravityfalls/images/thumb/a/aa/S1e7_Wendy_Family_Photo.png/800px-S1e7_Wendy_Family_Photo.png on the left the kid has 3 fingers not showing thumb, but here http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120720054842/gravityfalls/images/9/93/S1e2_Manly_Dan_and_Cute_Biker.png he has 5 fingers meaning at his age he joined the society of course then teh women must not ever join the society because all of them have 4 fingers

or it is just artistic choice or measured by manliness

and i honestly would want to think that stanley was the one that wrote the journal but the property of F proves against it, but what if Stan and Stanley were secretly triplets  and their triplet's name had an F in it and each of them wrote a journal

That would probably mean Stan wrote the first one because we never learned how he got that one, and then the they got in some fight and stopped writing the journals and hid them

but i think Alex Hirsch probably is leading us off course with the Old Man McGucket thing because having it be him would be too predictable
