Not sure if that is how it always happens but its amazing. <em>cybrpunk's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ALittleScary/~3/302733377/' rel="nofollow">You can’t read my mind?</a></em> I’ve seen video of monks doing this same type of art and the amazing thing is that after they are done they will just take their hands and sweep it away to prove that its not that important and has no financial value to them.
