Ninjas on roller skates - - the movie



The movie is called Ninja Thunderbolt and came out in 1986. Here's the synopsis at IMDB: "The Ninja Empire has been run by an evil master and one member decides to leave the empire. The ex-Ninja wants a Hong Kong detective to track down the new leader and end his reign of terror."



Here's the intro, which features some deadly serious ninja talk, but no roller skates:



Yes, it's on sale at at Amazon.

Teenager sells website created with free tools for $60,000 (and other news)

1. Using free software, Hansup Yoon, age 15, created a forum called ZuneBoards, devoted to Microsoft's Zune. In two years it grew to 60,000 members and pulled in about $1,000 a month thanks to AdSense and Tribal Fusion. He just sold it for $62,000, which is presumably far more than Microsoft has made by selling the Zune. Details here.

2. Buffalo Bills rookie offensive tackle Demetrius Bell is the lowest rated player in Madden 2008. Link.

3. See the differences between an article that appeared in the New York Times, and the heavily altered version that appeared in a Beijing newspaper.

4. NASA space shuttle mission had a secret emblem which signified that the shuttle mission had the secret task of deploying a satellite inspection spacecraft.

Don't Talk Love to Me Again (不要對我再說愛) - Freya Lin Music Video and Lyrics

Don't Talk Love to Me Again (不要對我再說愛) - Freya Lin Music Video and Lyrics
Don't Talk Love to Me Again (不要對我再說愛) - Freya Lin

Too many loves are unclear
I still linger at the day of the breakup
Too many things are unclear
Don't know how to come out smiling

Don't talk love to me again
You came back but the past could never be back
Don't talk love to me again
I'm still swaying on the swing

Too many people are unclear
I don't want to start over and still think about the originally
Too many people are not worth waiting for
I can't give you a certain future

Don't talk love to me again
You came back but the past could never be back
Don't talk love to me again
I'm still swaying on the swing

Don't talk love to me again
I admit I can't forget the originally
Don't talk love to me again
I'm scared that we would get hurt again

Don't talk love to me again
You came back but the past could never be back
Don't talk love to me again, just let me
Quietly sway alone

A love went from unclear to clear
Then my tear slowly streamed down

Superman - 倪子岡 - Nese Music Video and Lyrics
Superman - 倪子岡 - Nese

Don't sleep over here
Why the sad face
You just don't get
Our difference

yeah I'm Superman
yeah I'm Superman
yeah I'm Superman
yeah you are a loser

Hurry up and move aside
We are having a party
You just don't get
Our difference

yeah I'm Superman
yeah I'm Superman
yeah I'm Superman
yeah you are a loser

Superman is going to lay back after class
Loser is left to wipe the tear
Hot girls are all by my side
Remember to return the mop to the ja-ja-janitor

Superman has no time to comfort you
If you are not convinced then you be-be-better transfer school
You can cheat or have your dad donate money
I may consider let you po-po-polish my shoes

Competition is based on skill and not luck
So you really don't have to be too sad
You are welcomed to have a rematch anytime
But you may need to practice harder for 100 years

Loser, someone wants your autograph over there
He wants to remind himself not to be like you
Loser, how come you can't spell after L
Ah, I forgot you sucked at English and almost repeat a grade
Superman actually needs love too
Your girl is texting me already
She said she doesn't want you, an useless guy
She even ended with "Oh, love ya"

Really, I'm Fine (真的, 我沒事) - Adrian Fu Music Video and Lyrics
Really, I'm Fine (真的, 我沒事) - Adrian Fu

On and on the pain goes on
And it wouldn't just wouldn't die
I'm far weaker and more powerless than I thought
I chose to avoid your eyes
Hate myself, hate myself

On and on the pain lives on
It's hurting so much more
Just let the sin of regret swallow me
Will the punishment bring salvation
I'll be fine I'll be fine

So many cried listening to God
Let being strong not only a show
So many lies listening to you
When morning comes, I will be fine

On and on the pain goes on
and I just don't know how to cope
Will hugging myself fill the emptiness
The last faith, don't give up
I will be fine

So many cried listening to you
I hope you can give me the strength again
So many lies listening to you
When I will be fine

When I no longer look forward to anything
Only you are left, only you are left
If one day, I leave behind everything to see you
Please smile without saying anything

So many cried listening to you
I hope you can give me the strength again
So many lies listening to you
When I will be fine

Indonesia claims sole ownership of the bird flu

The concept is "viral sovereignty" and the theory is that Indonesia (and other countries) want to claim ownership of viruses appearing within their country - - so if a valuable vaccine is created, their country will benefit monetarily. (If they're not all dead from an epidemic.) Over the last three years, Indonesia has shared with the World Health Organization "samples from only two of the more than 135 people known to have been infected with H5N1 (110 of whom have died)."

Black Belt Patriotism by Chuck Norris



Saw this prominently displayed in a nonironic way at the bookstore yesterday:
Book Description
Martial arts master, actor, and political activist--there is no job Chuck Norris can't do. Now the original tough guy is at it again, stepping back into the role of bestselling author with his new book, Black Belt Patriotism. In Black Belt Patriotism Norris gives a no-holds-barred assessment of American culture, tackling everything from family values to national security. More than a cultural critique of what's wrong with our nation, Black Belt Patriotism provides real solutions for solving our problems, moving our country forward, and changing our nation's course for the better. Chuck Norris--the hero, icon, and legend--is back, packing a political and cultural punch, as only he can deliver.

From the Inside Flap
Wake Up, America!

It seems like wherever you turn these days, the news is bad. Illegal immigrants are swarming over our borders. Our nation and American families are crippled by debt. We remain vulnerable to Islamist terrorist attacks. Judges ignore the Constitution and instead legislate from the bench. Faith and traditional values are under incessant assault from the media, leftist lawyers, and the liberal establishment. The core message of the Declaration of Independence--that everyone has a God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness--is under threat from liberals who deny the right to life (or even the very idea of God-given rights), and who think the answer to every problem is a government program. They think that God, if He exists, might not know best, but liberal-run government certainly does. If you're worried about the direction our country is going, you're in good company. Chuck Norris remembers a better America--an America of faith, freedom, and respect for tradition, history, and human life--and in Black Belt Patriotism he shows what we need to do to reawaken the American dream, reignite the American spirit, and give our children and grandchildren the America they deserve: an America of freedom, opportunity, and faith. In ten practical, down-to-earth chapters, Norris gets back to basics, mining the insights of our founding fathers and applying their wisdom to the problems of today: immigration, the culture wars, the war against global terrorism, national (and personal) debt, even the epidemic of obesity that is killing more Americans than terrorists do. With the optimistic, get your-hands-dirty, can-do spirit that typifies what's best about America, Chuck Norris grapples with the toughest problems facing our country and proves that they're no match for Black Belt Patriotism.

Black Belt Patriotism by Chuck Norris is 34% at Amazon.

Yi Ban (Other Half) - Jerry Yan Music Video and Lyrics

Yi Ban (Other Half) - Jerry Yan

一直等一個人等了很久
yi zhi deng yi ge ren deng le hen jiu
Been waiting for that someone for such a long time

這一場獨角戲是很寂寞
yi chang du jiao xi shi hen ji mo
one sided love is so very lonely

春夏秋冬我的窗口
chun xia qiu dong wo de chuang kou
My window through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter

只有風經過
zhi you feng jing guo
Only the wind passes by

愛得深有多深
ai de shen you duo shen
Love deeply yet how deep is it

我也不懂
wo ye bu dong
I don’t know

你的喉我的心變得脆弱
ni de hou wo de sin bian de cui ruo
Your throat and my heart have weakened

聽一首歌也覺得痛
ting yi shou ge ye jue de tong
I feel the pain even after listening to a song

但我誰也沒有說
dan wo shei ye mei you shuo
But I didn’t speak of it to anyone

右邊的座位右邊的枕頭
you bian de zuo wei you bian de shen tou
The seat on my right, the pillow on my right

都已經空了那麼久
dou yi jing kong le na me jiu
Have been empty for such a long time

為你守候
wei ni shou hou
Waiting only for you

那是因為我已經看透
na shi yin wei wo yi jing kan tou
It’s all because I’ve finally understood

沒有你的愛
mei you ni de ai
Without your love


這個我只是一半
zhe ge wo zhi shi yi ban
I am only but one half

不哭了不笑了
bu ku le bu xiao le
Not crying, not laughing

為誰努力我也不明白
wei shei nu li wo ye bu ming bai
I don’t understand for whom do I work hard for

沒有人能取代
mei you ren neng qu dai
No one can take your place

一個圓的另一半
yi ge yuan de ling yi ban
One half of a circle

我固執地等待
wo gu zhi de deng dai
I stubbornly wait on

等風再把你帶回來
deng feng zai ba ni dai hui lai
Waiting for the wind to bring you back
