3. here's a little pollice verso sign language I picked up in Afghanistan

http://www.ooze.com/finger/html/foriegn.html

Gesture: Upthrusted thumb

Location: Iran, Afghanistan, Nigeria and parts of Italy and Greece

Contrary to popular belief- the thumbs up gesture did not spare a gladiator's life in Ancient Rome. A plebeian's pointed thumb or pollice verso (whether the thumb was pointed up, down, or somewhere in between we don't know) meant the combatant was to be slain. A HIDDEN thumb, folded out of sight, or the pollice compresso meant he was to be spared. The famous scene in "Spartacus", where the Emperor signals a warriors life would be spared by the upturned thumb, was flawed by mistranslation through the ages.

alright, and make us thank Moore for the colostomy bag. It'll catch our nuts on fire and then hand us a pickaxe to put out the flames! It'll throw us overboard in tuna-chummed shark infested seas! It's godd*mned fantastic! I can't wait to go home and blow my brains out! Wow, this new shit is great. I never felt this good on Prozac."
