Doghead's Cosmic Bar

If you have any extra cash, I take donations.
If I win the Eurolottery tomorrow (£125million jackpot - been rolling over for weeks/months?) it's yours, I promise
But I wouldn't hold your breath - I have no intention of buying a ticket

Eugene, for some reason, I thought you worked for a university and would have a computer from work. No matter. If Psimagus wins the lottery and gives me enough money, I'll buy you a laptop.

Ulrike, Please tell me more about taiji.

Dallymo, I almost put fark on the list of sites. It was kind of a random list :-)

Lady Orchid, I am glad you'd want to help a good cause. I think you should consider keeping the money when you win the lottery do you can make sure it goes to research you really want and that the money isn't wasted. I bet youd be a great director of some foundation. Besides, then you could pay yourself a little of the money to live on. :-)

Oh..oh..far away from anything rewarding.. but thanks for the comment.

Bev: taiji is martial art that goes back to ancient times in China. Most people in the U.S. practice it more for the health benefits than anything else, but it is extremely effective as a martial art. A big part of taiji is relaxation. The idea is to be so relaxed and alert that a fly can't land on you without you noticing and sinking due to the extra weight.

So how can you "fight" if you're relaxed? Simple. By being alert. If you use force, you give your opponent something to push back on. If you use no-force (relaxed, taiji style), there is nothing to resist. In fact, the more you resist, the more you give your opponent. Reistance is Futile!

I thought the actual combat element wasn't still practiced.
