About	The clenched hand is extended. with the thumb vertically erect. In English it is better known by thc popular name 'thumbs up', despite thc fact that the action is commonly performed with only one hand. In the ancient Roman combats, when a gladiator was vanquished it rested with the spectators to decide whether he should be slain or not. If they wished him to live, they shut up their thumbs in their fists (pollice compresso favor judicabatur); if to be slain, they turned down their thumbs ... Our pupular saying, Thumbs up! expressive of pleasure or approval is probabbly a perversion of this custom....... "Brewer's dictionary first published in 1870 and reprinted many times since then"

You have captured so many great pictures that I have fallen in love with many of them and hope to check them regularly because I really enjoy all of them! So great one again, I love the choice of black and white and how great the skin looks like.
Hm, perfect!
Regards
Olga

Thumbs up for the glorious victory of Egypt over Cameroon in African Nations Cup :) Congrats brother both for the win and this beyond perfection photo. It's awesome as if I can detect the identity from the fingerprints:)
