I'm going to present you with another grouping of links.

Dr. Young's Demonstration of Wing Chun Kung Fu and Chi Kung: The sorriest example of chi I think I've ever seen. Chi blasts will turn Star Trek redshirts into Broadway dancers.

Alfred Anderson: "Alfred Anderson was only 18 years old on Dec. 25, 1914, when the "eerie sound of silence" fell along the 500-mile Western Front. On that day, British and German troops stopped shooting each other long enough to share a moment of peace."

Fairies stop developers' bulldozers in their tracks: "Villagers who protested that a new housing estate would “harm the fairies” living in their midst have forced a property company to scrap its building plans and start again."

I'm baking peanut butter and chocolate marble brownies. Mmmmmmmm....

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

Date: 2005-11-27 11:26 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shanmonster.livejournal.com
Batter:

1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
2 oz good-quality unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 oz good-quality semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract

Filling:

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Heat oven to 325. Line greased 8" square baking pan with foil or parchment paper, allowing a 2" overhang. Grease lining and set aside.

2. Make batter: Put butter and chocolate in heatproof medium bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted. Set aside and cool slightly.

3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl and set aside.

4. Whisk sugar into chocolate mixture. Add eggs, and whisk until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Add flour mixture; stir until well-combined.

5. Make filling: stire together butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, salt and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.

6. Pour 1/3 of batter into prepared pan. Spread evenly with rubber spatula. Drop dollops of peanut butter filling (about 1 Tbsp each) on top of batter, spacing about 1" apart. Drizzle remaining batter on top, and gently spread to fill pan. Drop dollops of remaining peanut butter mixture on top.

7. Gently swirl peanut butter filling into batter with a butter knife, running the knife lengthwise and crosswise through layers. Bake until cake tester inserted into brownies (avoid centre and edges) comves out with a few crumbs but is not wet, about 45 minutes. Let cool in pan about 15 minutes. Lift out; let cool completely on wire rack before cutting into squares.

As long as stories like this keep cropping up, there'll always be a Tinkerbell.

What the hell? That chi kung video is the goofiest thing I've seen!

Date: 2005-11-28 04:23 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] shanmonster.livejournal.com
Oh yes. Chi proof videos are full of shits and giggles!

That video is ridiculous and proves nothing.
I find it interesting how the guys manage to
keep from really knocking anything over.

I would think, after a chi blast of such awe-
some power, it would be rather difficult to
leap back into the fray...

If only it made a cool sound effect like it
does in the movies.

OMG, someone knocked up a 5 YEAR OLD?!?! That's fuckin' sick. >:(

It could potentially have been another kid.

Regarding the two vaginae, I know a guy
here who has had sex with at least two
girls with that condition, and he has not
had sex with very many girls at all. He
said one of the girls didn't like to have
sex with the smaller one, because it hurt
when accidents happened.

Incidentally, he now has no testicles.

That Xbox 360 thing is pretty hilarious. I love caveat emptor.
