    I lol'd so hard at this. Got this from a video.

    Galileo had a part of him preserved in the Museo Galileo in Florence, Italy.

    That part was his middle finger, sticking straight up.

    He's been flipping the world off since 1737. Hilarious Gotta admire that dedication! What a great way to be remembered.

    Why would they preserve his middle finger?

    I'm interested to know the real reason.

    The church proclaimed he was a heretic, so I guess that's his comeback. Hilarious

    I'm pretty sure he didn't tell them to preserve his middle finger Razz

    I think it was the middle finger because they could not preserve the body, so someone cut a part of it off... for reasons.

    It was actually coined since the 100 years war.

    Is it supposed to be where the quote and edit buttons are? Because I don't see it. The permissions might be messed up.
