To that point, I hadn't heard (prior to his passing) that he had stomach cancer.

That doesn't sound comfortable in the slightest...

Ah, I assumed it was relatively common knowledge since I'd heard about it was it was in the news last year and I don't even know who he is (other than first learning he had cancer and now learning he was dead; just now looked him up to learn that Ozzie Osbourne was also in Black Sabbath).

Not that I was a huge fan, I do have a fair amount of respect for RJD. He was a great musician, but more importantly, by all accounts, he was a pretty decent guy. He was well liked and respected amongst his peers.

And he is credited with popularizing Devil Horns:

Is it just me or is that an incredibly short pinky compared to index finger length?

Ghoulish Delight · 05-17-2010, 07:05 PM

Forced perspective?

Maybe, but if anything it looks like the pinky side is closer to the camera.

Ghoulish Delight · 05-17-2010, 07:48 PM

But when you hold your hand like that the pinky is angled away from the camera. As a matter of fact, I just did and looked at my hand with one eye closed and it does indeed look quite a bit like the photo. From what I can tell it's a function of the angle of the pinky, as well as the proximity of the pinky to the ring finger that causes the illusion.

Nope, it's a short pinky alright.
