That's cool. It's also the concept I'm learning about sign language--the shape of the hand/fingers as a whole is what is important and not the individual letters.

Snopes is undecided as to the origin. I admit it's interesting though.

My brother, the optometrist, told me that he uses this to discern some types of reading disabilities and/or problems. I just thought it was kinda cool. *shrug*
