Next, on "The Mystery Of": F U

"Fuck you" is the most powerful insult known. It can express extreme emotion delivered by and directed at both sexes. But what is the source of its power? What does it even mean? In the next half hour, we will explore the secrets of this provocative phase. Our journey of discovery will take us to ancient Egypt where the hieroglyph "pfukyu" was one of the most powerful evocations of the gods of retribution and annoyance. We will trace its history forward to the middle ages and the hermetic order of Fuh-Queue who believed channeling the emotion of "pissed off" into an arcane ritual designed to rid the world of stupid people. Finally, we talk to a group of drunk neuroscientists who are using the latest imaging techniques to pinpoint the fuck-you center of the brain. Next, on "The Mystery Of".

FYI--Historians have recently rediscovered an 11th century Norman tapestry. It depicts the delivering of the F.U. along with some lions and unicorns. They believe it was a pre-battle gift sent to England's King Harold II from the Duke of Normandy aka William the Conquerer.
