ABC News: Norwegians perplexed by the President's hook em horns sign
The President's "Hook 'em horns" salute perplexed Norwegians because to them, the sign is a salute to Satan.

For Texans, the gesture is a sign of love for the University of Texas longhorns whose fans are known to shout "Hook 'em 'horns" at sporting events.
