The five greatest Yuen-Woo Ping choreographed fight scenes, selected by Yuen-Woo Ping

Yuen Woo Ping Picks His Five Favorite Fight Scenes - Movies - News - IFC.com


Jet Li's Chen Zhen demonstrates the "fish hook" to an unfortunate Japanese occupier.


In honor of 'True Legend''s U.S. release this week, we asked Yuen to do something even more difficult than fighting a man while standing on a bamboo pole over a pit of fire: pick just five favorite fight scenes from his incredible thirty-plus year career. As you'll see, he cheated a little bit on the last one, but with so many remarkable sequences to his credit, how can you blame him?
Fist of Legend is full of classic fight scenes; he could've done a list of just the fights in that one movie alone and it would've been nearly as good.

Readers have been intrigued by the gray, wrinkled, hairless rodent-looking creature.
Since a story on Dimples ran last month, more than 75 people have sent in suggestions on what type of animal it is.
Some suggest it is a capybara, the largest rodent in the world, or a chupacabra, a blood-sucking, dog-like reptile.
Many said it's a hairless nutria — an animal usually found in Louisiana swamplands that is hunted for its fur.
Your guess is as good, or better, than mine. RhinoCat?

RIP Former NBA player Robert 'Tractor' Traylor

Former NBA player Robert 'Tractor' Traylor found dead – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs:


Traylor, 34, is presumed to have died of a heart attack, according to Bayamon Vaqueros. The star struggled due to his size - but also heart problems when he tried to make it in the NBA. He had a heart operation in 2005.
I seem to remember some kind of money-laundering scandal around him, but mostly I remember him being a fun player to watch at Michigan and with the Bucks. I was living out in Wisconsin when he was drafted and traded to Milwaukee; saw him in person when he played on that '99-'00 team with Ray Allen, Glenn 'Big Dog' Robinson, and Sam Cassell.
