In the eighteenth part of my article series ‘Southern Shàolín (少林) Style Mythology’, I mentioned some Chinese mythological animals. But I gave further explanations only about the White Tiger and the Dark Warrior. At least would have been necessary to mention that the Chinese phoenix has hardly anything in common with the Greek phoenix. Only […]

Two years ago, I had been glad that I could watch six wrestling shows per week, which compensated me for all the previous years without wrestling shows in German free tv. AEW Rampage did disappear soon afterwards, but WWE’s pay-per-view events entered German free tv instead. Additionally have the documentary series Biography: WWE Legends, WWE […]

Chris reported that somebody, who he calls Brandon, got shot three times at point-blank range. I wondered what this means. Well, English isn’t my mother tongue, so I thought that looking up this expression could be helpful. Yet, instead of a dictionary entry, I only found a discussion on whether point-blank range would have the […]

On June, 21st in almost each year (except leap years) is summer solstice and the longest day in the northern hemisphere. Because people from the southern hemisphere have no objections, even southern hemisphere astrologers don’t object to the Ancient Greek explanations of the meanings of the zodiac signs due to the seasons, so whatever is […]

Since the days of the discussion on Peak Oil, I wondered how to comprehensibly explain this issue. So Martin Armstrong meanwhile did beat me to it: “Energy is the economy.” So short and simple, yet accurate! Energy is the economy! Because all branches of the economy depend on energy and hence on the energy branch! With […]

Only what is successful is Wing-Chun. Said at least Chris from the Martial Development blog. While Wong Shun-Leung said, anything a Wing-Chun man does is Wing-Chun. Thus did at least Chris quote him. In the blog post above that comment (the other comments are only the on the Martial Development blog usual flame war), Chris […]

The Creationists in still the same documentary series gave in to Reverend Charles Darwin in each and every point of his theory. They even supported his evolution “theory” with examples. A main example were the iguanas on the Galapagos Islands. There live iguanas, that are exactly like iguanas elsewhere, besides the sea iguana, that lives […]

Many conflicts can be resolved by an apology at the right time. You’ve probably seen in martial arts movies how the martial arts masters tried this first. Sometimes successful, at least in a movie’s first part. I recommend to apologize and to resolve conflicts this way. But with an exception! If you decide to apologize, […]

Once more, I have to criticize Martin Armstrong. On the one hand, he correctly writes: “This is exactly how republics rot from within. Not from invasion. Not from foreign armies. From corruption, money, lobbying, intimidation, and politicians who increasingly represent outside interests before their own citizens.” So here he names the real culprits! Exactly the […]
