Thomas Clemence

In 1491 Clemence was the founder of the furcula the small Y shaped bone in a bird. He came to the decision to name it 'A Wish Bone' this is now the common name for the furcula and has a long lasting tradition linked to it that was started by Clemence in 1492. The tradition was whom ever found the furcula would hold it with a little finger with the person sitting next to them who would also clasp it with their little finger pulling until the bone was snapped, who ever was left with the largest part of the bone in their grasp would make a wish.

It is belived today by many people and has had extensive scientific research into weather the tradition and supposed wish that is linked to it is true and works. No one truely knows weather Clemence's theory is true and works but independant research has indicated that it may work.
