[edit] I've read…

…that a possible origin is that it mimics crossed legs, (historically) representing abstinence, the only way for a woman to guarentee not becoming pregnant, and therefore originally represents good luck for this reason. I can't seem to find the source, though. Anything to this? — Lenoxus 04:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citation needed

"Another key use for crossed fingers is anal penetration, with sufficient lubrication it is one of the most common ways to stretch out ones sphincter."

I removed that part of the article, not only because it lacks any reference, but also because it is not relevant enough to warranty its presence on the article. Feel free to place it back with proper reference. There was a link purpotedly to be a reference, but turned out to be a broken link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.132.73.47 (talk) 13:57, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
