Nah, karateka are too dumb. (Or too smart to enroll in the first place! Lots of Shorinji Kenshi, though. :D

Probably becasue she wasn't a teacher. You need formal classes to keep you motivateed, correct grammatical errors, and check assignments and homework.

Calibraxis?

Just a name....Sounded cool when I wrote it....But been shortened to M.O.B by all my many fans :rolleyes:

[Kimpatsu]

In "Hellblazer", Calibraxis was the Lord of Blades, and Butcher to the Devil's Court. He possessed Sir William Withey Gull to become Jack the Ripper, and then reemerged a century later, where John Constantine did battle with him, and ultimately tricked the demon into consuming itself.
This has been a Nerdflash.

I don't speak Japanese, but I went with a Japanese girl when in Japan and as I was nailing her she screamed in delight 'kusegoto kaisetsu, kusegoto kaisetsu'.
The next day I asked a friend what 'kusegoto kaisetsu' meant, but he shrugged and said, 'If she was enjoying herself, it was probably a compliment.'

That afternoon, we were playing golf and one of the older Japanese gents hit a hole-in-one, so I smiled and said, 'kusegoto kaisetsu'.

He frowned at me and said, 'What do you mean, 'not the right hole'?'

More gibberish. Quick, skip this post. Skip, skip...

[arnisador]

My mistake; it was ghoti that was pronounced "fish" (shades of Monty Python!).

Take the gh from enough.

Take the o from women.

Take the ti from attention.

There you have it...ghoti, pronounced "fish".

The rate of dyslexia in Italy is half that of the U.S. They conjecture it's because the U.S. uses 26 letters to make hundreds of combinations while Italian uses 21 letters (in practice anymore, 26) to make around 40 combinations.
