Here it is:Is this a < ! > which I see before me?At the business end is a very sharp point.At the other end is something from a bird's attire (helps it fly through the air).If not kept in it's special holder it may cause injury (especially to the eye).Without it 1066 would have been a different story.To use it, it must be held lightly using the first and second fingers. Only two fingers are used.The thumb is used also, to help direct it.anyone?Regards
