How did the "horns" while taking the picture come about?

okay so you are taking a picture with your family and friends and before the cameraperson CLICKS...there is someone behind you who raises two fingers behind your head to make them look like horns....supposed to be funny and it IS


how did THIS phenomena come about?

How did the %26quot;horns%26quot; while taking the picture come about?
We call them rabbits ears but its basically the same thing.





Way back in the early history of photography, back when people had metal rods strapped to their backs and clamped to their necks so they could sit still for the 30 minutes required for exposure, there were no bunny ears. In fact, in those portraits, there were no smiles. It was a very severe time, as though everyone had just received terrible news... It is impossible to pinpoint exactly when bunny ears first showed up in photographs behind someone’s head, though it started happening often in the ’50s. And, oh, to know why they did. ... Why a rabbit? Why not a Statue of Liberty crown with all five fingers? Why not a single antenna? Why not devil horns, with the index finger and pinkie?
