Train in Qigong, get strong penis.

This guy really likes to take his Qigong training to a new level. I mean, there’s something to be said for developing superhuman skills through Qigong training (leave your Matrix porn jokes at the door, please), but this just doesn’t seem healthy. I guess if you wanted to promote your Qigong school, pulling a truck with your penis is one way to go, but as for me, I think I’ll pass on this one.

Bosnia respects the Little Dragon.

A new statue of Bruce Lee in Bosnia! The BBC reports that “Lee was chosen by organisers as a symbol of the fight against ethnic divisions.” Certainly, no one has been more instrumental in terms of breaking down the barriers to entry for Asian actors (outside of kitchy stereotypical roles) than Bruce. Apparently Hong Kong also unveiled a statue on Sunday. It’s nice to see that even 32 years after his death, his impact is still felt in the world.

Karate Quilts?

It’s not self-defense with sewing needles, it’s Action Karate Quilts! I’ve seen a lot of random martial arts-themed products (for example, Steven Seagal’s Asian Experience), but this one has to be one of the most random. I guess if you like to quilt and also happen to make quilts for people into martial arts, then this is the perfect book for you. If you’re outside that narrow targeted demographic, however, maybe you should stick to samurai dolls and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pez.
