Master Po: Close your eyes. What do you hear?

Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.

Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?

Caine: No.

David Carradine, December 8, 1936 - June 3, 2009, we pass no judgements surrounding your death, only mourn your passing.

Po: As quickly as you can... snatch the pebble from my hand.

[Caine tries and fails]

Po: When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave.

Caine: "Old man, how is it that you hear these things?"

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
