Mexican Hand Gestures

This is kind of a touchy subject. Most nationalities have distinct hand gestures for from "come here" to "bug off". Mexico, also, has its own.
I just came across:
A Lesson in Mexican Gestures | Gadling.com
which forever swore me off forming on O sign with my thumb and forefinger to signify ok.
Any more insights?

Thanks for the link - there is a discussion on hand gestures in the thread "How I Spent Semana Santa by..." well modesty prevents me. I love learning new cultures!
