Or to qoute from stuff the Brain wrote "Inhumanly fluid".

An addendum to all of this: japan doesn't have anything to do with Buddhism
or the Shaolin Monks. Buddhism is (mainly, though definately not entirely)
Chinese. There are lots of Buddhist temples over in Japan, but there, the
main religion is Shinto. Shaolin Monks, however, are definately Chinese.
Kung-Fu and its animal and other variants (Mantis, Dragon, Tiger, Drunkend,
etc.) were created by these monks a really long time ago. I'm not saying
I'm a resource on it, I'm just commenting on the previous post about the
Meta's that were kicked out of Japan. They would not have, most likely,
been Shaolin. (Watch Kung-Fu, as banal and insepid as that show can be, it
still has some gems of truth hidden within. Whoa, that was a little too
philosophical)

If there is someone who disagrees with me on this, that's fine. Like I
said, I'm not an expert. So try and keep the heat to a slow burn :)
