According to the late Professor Chee Soo, who taught the various Li / Lee Family Arts. The "Internal" Kung Fu style known as "Fung Sau" or "Feng Shou" (roughly translated as "Hands of the Wind") was so called because used in self defense, your opponant shouldn't be able to see your (counter) strike coming, just feel its effect. Nice theory. He also mentioned the Earl of the Wind was called Feng Po. With the outward appearance an old man, wearing a blue & red hat, a yellow cloak and standing on the green grass of Heaven. In his hands he held a sack and whichever direction the open mouth of the sack pointed was the direction the wind moved in. From a soft breeze to a deadly tornado. Over the years I'm surprised that I've not seen any statues of Feng Po. But have recently been made aware that the God's name should more correctly be Feng Bo. Also, when not in human form his name is Fei-Lian or Fei-Lien. He has the horns of a Bull, a Stag's Body, a Snake's Tail, but the head of a Sparrow ! Also, it appears that he's recently been usurped by Feng Po Po, Goddess of the Wind. My Question is, has anybody seen / got a statue or painting of Feng Bo ? As I'd really appreciate seeing a photo of one or getting some additional information on this "troublesome" God. Cheers Basher

So I was in the Office working hard, as usual. Had to go use the Photocopier, to (obviously) make a copy of some Reports. Put the first Report in the Document Feeder & whilst watching, I noticed that two pages had stuck together on the way through. Checking afterwards, I had to take out and copy Page 4 separately, as it had been missed from this 50 page Report. A few minutes later, another Report & the exact same thing happened again. Now this report had some of the pages out of sync. But I was surprised to see that it was another Page 4 that was "missed". Finally put the largest Report through the Copier & spotted it jump twice!! Yup, you've guessed it, this time there were two letters & in each the Page marked 4 was missing !!! :o Apart from the Final Report, all only had one, marked "Page 4". Now all I'd like to know / understand is: What are the chances of that Happening (and should I now buy a Lottery Ticket) ? What, if anything, is the Universe trying to tell me ? Or am I going Mad ? :D

Interesting point, looking at the Map. How are Norway doing ? As they appear to be outside of the EU !

Back on Topic ??? Assad's being greatly helped by Putin & Russia's forces are systematically bombing every area that is held by anti-Assad groups. They're not concentrating on Isis / Daesh controlled areas, they're simply helping Assad stay in control of his Country. Several civilian areas have been completely flattened, with huge numbers of women & children killed or seriously wounded. Perhaps Putin is trying to earn some Brownie Points for his helping out this Dictator ? Or maybe, by helping fuel the Refugee crisis, he's trying to de-stabilise Europe ! Assad needs to be viewed like a Hitler or Stalin. History will harshly judge those Countries that have stood by and let one man destroy the lives the Millions.

I'm NOT receiving NUFFINK !! Sorry and er Sorry (Double apologies for the double negative !!)

Think we're in Dire Need of a TV Reality Show featuring re-enactments of real life Historical Events. (featuring young good looking air-heads) :D

I'm seeing three of this thread !! wth ? (what the heck)

A Question for C T further to your post..... "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep ?"

Last Saturday my youngest step daughter fancied going to the Cinema, she dragged her Mum, my partner along to see something called "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". :blink: They both asked if I fancied going along, but I declined. (No **** way I wanna see that pile of crud, I thought!) :D When they returned a few hours later, they'd both really enjoyed it and mentioned that I would have loved seeing all the Martial Arts in It !! Bugger !!

Not to be confused with "10 cents"

That's just it Chang, they don't want ordinary, everyday, "Common" Sense....but amazing, incredible, "Super" Sense !! LOL

Who gets the Last Laugh ? Why...the Minkey of course !

Send for Mulder & Scully !!

I know what Nikolai means...it is a little different. But maybe... The Two Monkeys Are Having a Discussion On "The Way" !! :ph34r:

Only fair, as the U.S. was late joining both previous World Wars !!

Magnificent Photograph Yueya. :ph34r:

To slightly mis-quote Star Wars.... "Who's the Bigger Fool Idiot, the Idiot, or the one that follows them ?"

Then he should be easy to spot, when strolling around the Dao Bums Head-Quarters ! (Unless all the Mods wear the same type) :D

Lovely !!

Believe that Marblehead uses the Red typeface whilst wearing his "Mod" Hat. Changes to Black when he's expressing his own opinions. But wonder if a different, more friendly colour, would be a better choice. Then Mods can use RED to tell people off !!! :ph34r: (If only we had a photo of MH in his Mod. Hat !!)

Same here, but appears to be ok now.

Nah, ELECTRIFY THE FENCE.....50,000 Volts should be enough !! (LOL)

Can't help feeling that my way was easier !! :ph34r:
