Short Suck #31 - Why Do We Do That?

Today we're we’re gonna tackle a bunch of questions you never knew you needed answering. Questions like: Why does the middle finger mean “fuck you”? Why do we blow out candles at birthday parties? Why do we cover our mouths when we yawn? And where does the whole making "bunny ears" with your fingers behind someone's head while they're getting their photo taken come from? The answers to these questions are often so strange, and so ancient.
