oh...i thought it had something to do with Fornication Under Consent of the King

Paras, I thought it was Johnny 5, not 6. Wasn't 6 evil?

Seeing as Par is the only one who responded to my Big Fish movie night,
and that I'm too lazy to organize it. I'll probably go next weekend...
sorry for all the laziness! If anyone is interested in joining me, let me know.
I'll figure out a place and time soon, I hope.

and, one final thing: The History of Flipping the Bird

The History of the Middle Finger
Isn't history more fun when you know something about it?

Giving the Finger
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.

New month, renewed page (though I kept some of January temporarily), and a new low-qual Paras computing project. Check out the webpage (that's the webpage, not THE webpage.) It's a little barebones right now but, by the end of the term, it'll be rife with incarnations of our beloved drunk robot. He was once called number 6 (remember the Short Circuit movies?), now, he has earned his personality.
