The middle finger was discovered in 1872 by John Middleflingus after an apple fell on his head. Now, it has become a custom for all young gentlemen to show their middle fingers at passing women as it represents their spine: long, straight and with a nail at the top.

The middle finger was voted 'Finger of the Year' by Finger magazine in 1990 and again in 2002.
