	Wikipedia: Two-fingers salute
		Two-finger salute appeared in Polish military forces propably before or during Napoleonic wars, or Kościuszko's uprising in 1794.
		Legends attributing creation of the salute to the Battle of Olszynka Grochowska during November's insurrection 1830-1831, are apparently wrong since Tsar's Viceroy in Poland, Grand-Duke Constantine was reported to say earlier that Poles salute him with two fingers because in the other three they are holding a stone ready to throw at him.
		All legends however attribute two-finger salute to the accident when some soldier saluted his superior (usually general) with wounded hand, from which ring and pinky fingers were detached as a result of a shrapnel explosion.
