I Dunno--Maybe the Norwegians are onto Something

In Norway, "Hook 'em horns" has a different meaning:

OSLO, Norway Jan 21, 2005 — President Bush's "Hook 'em, 'horns" salute got lost in translation in Norway, where shocked people interpreted his hand gesture during his inauguration as a salute to Satan.

That's what it means in the Nordics when you throw up the right hand with the index and pinky fingers raised, a gesture popular among heavy metal groups and their fans in the region.



The Mark of the Beast?
