@Whalen: What is the story for the offensive use of V sign then? We learned at school exactly what you described for the finger, but the professor´s version talked about "V"

Yes I remember it being the V sign, a common sign here for saying "up yours".

May I answer?

In times of frequent wars between England and France the english longbowmen were famous for their skill. If captured by the french - the english longbowmen would have the index and middle finger cut off to make sure they could never fire another arrow at the french.

So the V sign - showing your index and middle finger was a show of defiance by the english towards the french to say - I still have these two fingers. And also as a veiled threat meaning "I will kill you"

Your savvy of cult medieval history is only paralleled by your enthusiastic experiments with smokeless tobacco. You are a thoroughly inspiring character. :-)

Hey Vulpes,

I have to thank you for turning me on to the bulletproof lifestyle. I have lost a ton of weight, and feel fantastic.

Hi crullers, yeah ketosis rules. Awesome that you've lost weight :-) Here is a link to the bulletproof recipe: How to make 'Bulletproof Coffee'

Once you go down the route of giving up one thing up you tend to start wanting to give other things up.

Like being rude to people ......
