The commonly used V-sign comes from historic battle (don’t which one), when archers would be captured by the enemy, they would cut their fingers off so they could not draw back the bow. When the archers escaped without having their fingers cut off, they would show them their fingers hence the V-sign was born!

Supposed to be the Battle of Agincourt.

There used to be this brand of Ice Cream I'd buy at a store on Long Island called New York Ice Cream. Favorite flavor was Niagra Swirl. You can't find even a picture of the brand on the Internet.

Dogs can't look up..

The seas do not move when tides go in and out, it is the spinning earth passing through a static body of water held in a non spherical bulge by the gravitation pull of the moon.
Or something like that
