    I have no clue if there is a post in the forums where someone is talking about the hand sign that Mike is doing in the Catalyst, so I hope I'm not repeating another past thread. I told some of my friends what the hand sign could mean. Some say it's the letter "D" in sign language. Now I wonder what Mike could be saying with the sign language of "D". What do you guys think. Do you think the hand sign could mean something else? I would really like to hear your inputs...

    He's not doing D in sign language, if he were his thumb and middle finger would be touching. If it was meant to mean that, they would have done it correctly.

    Oh and, I took 2 years of sign language, so I'm not just guessing lol.

    It is roughly the ASL for D, yes. That gesture can mean plenty of other things though.

    I think he's just telling people to wait...because something is coming. A finger up in the air also means "wait".

    I think he means "one".

    One finger.
    One button.
    One world.

    Consider the fact that one of ATS's multiple themes is nuclear warfare too.

    I don't think it's anything. It just looks cool. Let's not bring religion into this.

    I was thoroughly convinced he was going to start jumping from rooftops and attacking people.

    It probably means nothing. Lol. :/

    Does anyone know if it's a Masonic reference, or something?

    Well, I don't know at all. It could mean something, or most likely, Mike's just doing that for no obvious reason. Knowing Joe Hahn, Mike's gonna do something Mike-ish. XD

    He's probably just doing it because it looks sort of ominous, as opposed to just sitting there.
