zchendevlemh wrote:History of the Middle Finger!

Isn't history more fun when you know something about it?

:finger_bleah:

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating
victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all
captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be
impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they
would be incapable of fighting in the future.

This famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and the
act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck
yew").

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset
and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the
defeated French, saying, "See, we can still pluck yew!"

"PLUCK YEW!"

Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant
cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental
fricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the
one-finger-salute!

It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with
the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird."

And yew thought yew knew everything!


Absolutely facsinating. Never knew that. Thanks.

Hey man, don't learn your history from the Net, that story is baloney.

Gotta love Cecil Adam's Straight Dope. Here's his column on the origin of the middle finger salute:

[ rant ]
wow bittorrent is getting stupider and stupider each day. :mad:

on pmm, someone decides to torrent the ati catalyst drivers for a friend to download. retard, is it that hard for your friend to go to www.ati.com and download it there? it's crap like this (people just uploading whatever) that screwed jpopbt and got bunko closed. :angry: :angry:

then on another tracker (newer, smaller), someone torrents a file, to which 50-60 people have tried to download at any one time throughout the day today. a comment from the seed about how one of the downloaders have uploaded a few kb's and downloaded 180mb, and *poof* the seed disappears, stranding those 50-60 people stuck at 95%. :angry: and it hadn't even been half a day! :mad: :mad: sure some people are jerks and don't upload anything but there's a LOT of us who do. :shakehead:

the best part is pointing out the downloader who had an infinitessimally pathetic share ratio, and then abandoning the other 50+ people yourself.
:cursing: :cursing:

[ clarification ]

it's been a long day. mods, this looked like a "vent" topic, judging from the first post. if i pissed anyone off with this post, just remember -- this is the internet and my opinion shouldn't mean diddly-squat to anyone else. :mrgreen:

Would that be MBHTV 021120? :) I was wondering why that torrent got stuck. I recently aquired a taste for Matthew's silliness and I was interested in seeing that show. Dumping a torrent before it completes is a crime!

Oh well.

Man I'm so tired right now. I just got back from the gym where I ran 3 miles and did some weights too. And tonight I get to go to Physics from 7pm -10pm :beaten:

snagged this from a testimonial in Friendster. brace yourselves for some major sloppy English.

The first time I saw you, it shock me by
surprise. How lovely you are, even by
far at rise.^__^ The moment we met
again, feel the closeness we had. The
touch of your hand, feels the warmness
that makes as glad. ^__^ Every now on
a weekend, we always see each other.
And times goes by, see the changes
from one another. ^__^ And now itfs a
special day, for a lovely girl like you.
You just turn a sweet girl, especially on
this day for you. ^__^


HOLLY CRAPPP!! :rofl:

Oh yeah, the phone calls were costing you a buck yeah?! Forgot about that. :beaten:

Took a break which ended up in me not lifting at all for a while. :beaten:
So as far as poundage goes, I'm not as strong as I was before. Still waiting for the muscle memory to kick back in. Just waiting for time to play it's role.

Cool, I saw I completed now. Time to drop off! (ha ha j/k)

I was looking around for some variety shows when I came across some MBHTV's. I do think "antics" is a good word for what he does, maybe it's a little too forced at times, but his shows are usually pretty lively, which makes them fun to watch.

This segment with Zone is pretty funny. Mizuho together with Matthew == crazy.

Mizuho is just crazy by herself if you've ever since the behind the scenes of Zone's music videos. :nut:
