What two things did Jacob steal from esau?

Only one; and that was Isaac's chief blessing, which he had intended for Esau. The birthright itself was not stolen, since Esau willingly sold it to Jacob. The fact that he sold it for a bowl of food shows how little he valued it (Genesis 25:31-34). Concerning Jacob's stealing the blessing:Jacob posed as Esau in Isaac's presence (Genesis ch.27) and received the blessing that was meant for Esau. Jacob is not to blame, for the following reasons:1) The word of God had informed their mother Rebecca that Jacob the younger son would be the favored one; the one to prevail (Genesis 25:23). Acting on this, she commanded Jacob to pose as Esau and seek Isaac's blessing (27:6-10), despite his trepidation (27:11).2) By willingly having sold Jacob his birthright, Esau relinquished any claim to Isaac's chief blessing which would go to the firstborn. The fact that he later complained (27:36) doesn't change this; and he did receive a blessing of his own (27:39).3) Isaac had not been informed that Esau sold Jacob the birthright. When he was later told this, he understood why God had allowed Jacob to get the chief blessing, and he continued blessing Jacob on later occasions (ch.28), never censuring him. Moreover, God Himself gives Israel (Jacob) the title of firstborn (Exodus 4:22 with Rashi commentary).

What does Ganesha hold?

The physical attributes of Ganesha are themselves rich in symbolism. He is normally shown with one hand in the abhaya pose of protection and refuge and the second holding a sweet(modaka), symbolic of the sweetness of the realized inner self. In the two hands behind him he often holds an ankusha(elephant goad) and a pasha (noose). The noose is to convey that worldly attachments and desires are a noose. The goad is to prod man to the path of righteousness and truth. With this goad Ganesha can both strike and repel obstacles. His pot belly signifies the bounty of nature and also that Ganesha swallows the sorrows of the Universe and protects the world.

Why did Franklin Pierce stick his hand in his shirt?

The picture you are referring to was taken when he was about to leave office. I do not know the reason for it, but it was not a habit. I would guess that is was the photographer's idea. Maybe he thought the pose looked statesmanlike a la Napoleon. In Napoleon's day or before, the hand in jacket pose was a classical pose, rather like having a hand on one's pocket for a relaxed look. The right hand is actually tucked into his vest, not his shirt.

Why do the men in 1800's war photos have their hands inside their shirts over their hearts?

Because of Napoleon. An artist who was painting Napoleon's picture, had trouble painting a realistic hand, so he told Napoleon to strike the pose, which you mentioned. The "hand inside shirt, over heart" pose.. I suppose many soldiers, wanting to be similar to Napoleon, copied his "pose."
