You need hands...

It's nice to be nice.

I was reading the other night about the hand signal language used by the scientist at the end of 'Close Encounters' to 'talk' to the aliens. This is a real language - the Curwen Hand Sign language - which describes different musical notes by holding your hand in a different position for each note. This seemed to me like a nice idea and in fact I think I might try to learn it.

How come the hand signs you learn by accident are far from musical?
