What is the origin of flipping the bird?
Where does the phrase "flipping the bird" come from?(Folklore/proverbial expressions) The following, from Eric Partridge's "Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English," may be relevant although it makes no mention of the hand gesture. To give someone the bird is "to dismiss [him], send him about his business . . . late C. 19-20. [From] the theatre . . . In Australia, 'give the bird' is to treat with derision: from before 1916." In obsolete theatrical usage (Partridge gives a date of 1883), "the bird" is defined as "a hissing of an actor," from the sound made by geese.

What happened to the pool table that Morgan Earp died on in Tombstone?
According to what I found, Morgan Earp did not die on a pool table as presented in the movies. He was shot and mortally wounded while playing either pool or billiards, and he was taken to the parlor where he died. There are many legends associated with Tombstone, AZ in the 1880's, and not all of them are true. *I am adding that the pool table can be found at the Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone, AZ.
