I've been wondering this since I was a kid.

Why do people often put two fingers up, like bunny ears, behind other people's heads when they are getting their photo taken? Why do people get so mad about it sometimes. Is it just to be silly or is there a meaning to the gesture? Is it somehow related to the two finger salute, supposedly going back to the time when French invaders of Britain cut off the plucking fingers of long-bowmen so that they couldn't shoot their arrows?

I don't think that this is only an Australian prank, or is it?
