I'm thinking this 3 year old could probably kick me arse!
He is a better boxer than me so I say:
Kill it with FIRE!!!
Or perhaps a sword duel would be a better choice as "there can be only one" Ivan Drago!
But seriously I frown on this because of the ramifications for the kid when he gets in a fight with other kids his age and gives some poor kid a concussion or a broken nose. He is three and will do what he has seen and been taught, he doesn't get the problems with it as he is too young to have developed those regions of the brain yet.
And as a boxer he might never develop it, too many hits in the noggin aint good for the brain

Work on that foot work, keep your chin down.
I frown on this, what happens if the kid breaks a metacarpal, trust me that sucks not matter what age you are.

This reminds me of a book I recently browsed, Deschooling Society by Ivan Illich. Found it very interesting, definitely on my to-read list.

Most Schooling is Training for Stupidity and Conformity

Sci-Fi Film Reccomendations (Cinema Talk Post)
>> ^Farhad2000:
Thanks for the great list Eklek, and yes unfortunately I have watched almost the whole list. I was surprised to see Russian flicks like Kin Dza Dza and Ivan Vasevilich Meanyt Prafesiou, thought they are comedy sci-fi films more then hard sci-fi. Great films, though without knowing Russian one wouldn't really enjoy them, at least not in the same way as Solaris and Stalker. Yeah Stalker wasn't on that list though was it?
I'll put the Russian ones on my list, hopefully I get the jokes..maybe there's a site full of spoilers explaining the dialogue's funniness..
Stalker is on this imdb list as well, a must see..
BTW about Holy Mountain (and El Topo):

Sci-Fi Film Reccomendations (Cinema Talk Post)
I liked the Cube movies when they came out, I think they really have been surpassed over the years and haven't aged well. When it came out it was a different take on the standard horror/haunted house type of deal.

I got Fail Safe recently, so am gonna watch that. I haven't seen any of the newer flicks like Iron Man, because I want to see them on DVD and not in cinemas in Kuwait where they cut up movies.
Great to see lost of Anime on that list, especially Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Howls Moving Castle, Castle in the Sky.... though I never heard of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time so I will getting that.
Also first time I ever heard of The Holy Mountain and A Boy and his Dog... thanks to you all...
Study Proves That we Want to be Fat
Food Reward in the Absence of Taste Receptor Signaling
Neuron, Volume 58, Issue 2, 24 April 2008, Page 295
Ivan E. de Araujo, Albino J. Oliveira-Maia, Tatyana D. Sotnikova, Raul R. Gainetdinov, Marc G. Caron, Miguel A.L. Nicolelis and Sidney A. Simon
Summary
Food palatability and hedonic value play central roles in nutrient intake. However, postingestive effects can influence food preferences independently of palatability, although the neurobiological bases of such mechanisms remain poorly understood. Of central interest is whether the same brain reward circuitry that is responsive to palatable rewards also encodes metabolic value independently of taste signaling. Here we show that trpm5−/− mice, which lack the cellular machinery required for sweet taste transduction, can develop a robust preference for sucrose solutions based solely on caloric content. Sucrose intake induced dopamine release in the ventral striatum of these sweet-blind mice, a pattern usually associated with receipt of palatable rewards. Furthermore, single neurons in this same ventral striatal region showed increased sensitivity to caloric intake even in the absence of gustatory inputs. Our findings suggest that calorie-rich nutrients can directly influence brain reward circuits that control food intake independently of palatability or functional taste transduction.

What is your favorite genre of game to play? (Videogames Talk Post)
EVE Online is about the only game I consistently play right now.
Some older favorites:
Neverwinter Nights and Expansion packs (One of the best game experiences ever especially Hordes of Underdark, NWN 2 was disappointing)
Sacred (This was like Diablo set in a larger open world, I actually finished this game 3 times)
Counter-Strike 1.3 (after that and Source it wasn't the same at all - The AK47 was so awesome in this version)
Quake 1, 2, 3. - Bots, Multiplayer and gibs. Nuff said.
Unreal Tournament (The original is still the best, UT3 was a huge consoley disappointment)
Freelancer 1 & 2 (Anyone remember pulling GTVA space patrols in a nebula? It was my own personal BSG)
Transport Tycoon Deluxe (Laying roads, train tracks, air and sea transport routes, was never so much fun, Locomotion was a huge disappointment)
Jagged Alliance 1 & 2 (Squad control mercs! Ivan Dolvich was hilarious)
Soldner (Like a JA clone set in a pulpish WW2 setting)
UFO: Alien Unknown (Oh my god this game was so scary, especially when you started getting Psiattacks from the aliens, still unrivaled today, even though countless companies tried direct copies, I didn't really like X-Com because of the underwater setting)
Heroes of Might & Magic 3 (I loved the 2D graphics, the newer 3D one isn't as magical nor did it have near the amount of units/artifacts/heroes as HMM3)
Rise of Nations (This was really one of the best and most enjoyable RTS games I ever played)
Total Annihilation (Visceral, primal RTS combat with robots, Supreme Commander lost that magic touch)
Morrowind (Oblivion was good but not as good as Morrowind which had more of an open ended feel, and not as consoley based as Oblivion)
I would say my favorite genre is FPS, though so far all am looking forward to is Fallout 3 and Jagged Alliance 3/3D/4 (if it ever makes it), I was looking forward to a shooter that was said to cover all the weapons from the 20th to 21st centuries following a familial history but I forgot the name, it had a really cool trailer too.
