	History of The Finger
		Giving someone "the finger" is one of the basest violations in modern culture, but its origins date back over 2500 years.
		It has been argued by anthropologists that the finger is a a variant of a classic "phallic aggressive" gesture used by primates.
		The finger, or convicium facio (meaning, I provoke an argument) was a "natural expression of scorn and contempt." Although he thought it was horrid to use, the deaf might have had no better way to express themselves after someone dumped the contents of a chamber pot on them in the street.

		"It occurred to me at that time that if there were a national bureau of identification, where the finger prints of all the individuals in the country were recorded, it would be the custom to immediately identify all persons, guarded by the police or hospitals, by sending their fingerprints to this national bureau.
		The present blank could be modified so as to use about one-half of the back of the sheet for the finger prints, the rest of the sheet still being available for future data, as now intended.

	Evaluating Web Site Information
		The story is that French soldiers at Agincourt threatened to cut off the index and middle fingers of captured archers in the army of Henry V. Actually the archers were almost all Welsh - not English.
		Their confident troops (they outnumbered Henry's army by about seven to one) approached the English camp (battles were decided quite formally in those days) made the boast that they would cut off the two fingers of any captured archers and then returned to their camp.
		Conscious that it was the v-shaped notch which was the difference between the two armies' relative fortunes that day, the archers filed past the captured French waving v-shaped fingers and elbows and the terms became associated with jeering success over unfortunates for the next five hundred years.
