We know it dates back to ancient Greece, at least, where it was referenced in "The Clouds," a play written by Aristophanes in 423 B.C. It was also well known to the Romans, who referred to it variously as digitus infamis ("infamous finger") and digitus impudicus ("indecent finger"). In all likelihood its origins were prehistoric."<BR/><BR/>There is indeed, nothing new under the sun.<BR/><BR/>JohnDuke_of_Earlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358279187766938462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10257757.post-1135106187614523862005-12-20T13:16:00.000-06:002005-12-20T13:16:00.000-06:00I'm taking some time off from work as well 23rd th...I'm taking some time off from work as well 23rd through the 4th... but I suspect I'll make a few posts in that time!<BR/><BR/>Ehjoy your time off Karyn!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338910000372628114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10257757.post-1135080949693561342005-12-20T06:15:00.000-06:002005-12-20T06:15:00.000-06:00LOL, enjoy your 11-day vacation, you lucky bugger....LOL, enjoy your 11-day vacation, you lucky bugger. ;o)thewriterslifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408434848838447115noreply@blogger.com
