Kung-Fu Kitty

I should just note, before I get onto the true subject of this post, that I have started school. I started Monday and I'm taking a lot of interesting courses. Let's see, Astrophysics, Earth and Humans in Equilibrium, Arthurian Legend and Tradition, Masters of Modern Cinema, Solutions, and Wave Motion and Modern Physics... I guess the only course I don't really like is Solutions, but even it's ok. Getting back on track...

First of all, I have yet to understand how those who send spam emails decide who to send them too. Every day, I receive junk mail for penis enlargement. They usually have such titles as "Make her scream" or "All natural size increase" with all the appropriate colons inserted for some unknown reason. I have neither a penis, nor any desire to increase it, so why would I need this email? I haven't even subscribed to any porn sites or anything. Now, my brother has never ever received one of these emails and he actually tries to get them. Weirdness...

Second of all, and totally unrelated to the previous paragraph, unless you want to make some sort of Freudian association, a friend of mine (who will remain nameless for safety reasons, but who you probably all know anyway) thought it would be "wicked cool" to make a flaming sword. As most of you already know, I have a katana and sort of know how to use it, so it would look really cool to have someone (hopefully me) twirling a flaming sword around and perhaps filming it. First, we thought it might be a good idea to have some sort of gas reserve attached to the handle and then have a tube with small perforations running along the non-sharp side of the blade so that there would be a constant stream of gas on the blade so that it could be on fire for a long time. This is pretty complicated and probably a lot more impractical than anything else. So today, we just thought it would be best to use napalm and spread it on the blade, not too close to the hilt. I'm amazed at how easily a recipe for napalm is found on the internet, and also at how easy it is to make. Scary, really. So, we're gonna do that and test it on butter knives. I hope we can make it solid and sticky enough. The thing I'm worried about is that pieces of flaming napalm will fly off as the swords are being twirled around. It shouldn't happen if we do it right. Anywho, I'll let everybody know how that's going to work out.

I think that that's all I had to say.
