Completely Lost in Translation

Norwegian newspapers say people there are upset because during President Bush's inaugural parade he and his family held up their right hands with their index and pinky fingers raised. To Norwegians this is the sign of the devil. To heavy metal fans it's the same thing. To the Bush's apparently it's a sign of solidarity with the University of Texas Longhorns marching band.

NOTE TO NORWEGIANS: Don't feel bad. To everyone outside of Texas (and possibly the red states) it's considered the sign of the devil too.
