QUESTION: History

How long did the Hundred Years' War last?

  1. 107 years or something. It was a long freakin war between the French and the English. It is where the middle finger gesture comes from. English Archers once captured would get their middle finger cut off by French soldiers so they could not use a bow and arrow which was hi-tech at the time. When the English beat the French, they would run around saying Pluck You holding up their in tact middle fingers. It was on that HBO show.

  2. If memory serves (and nowadays it usually serves up old poop!) I'll say around 140 years.
