I always thought these "monks" where only a circus act.I still do but ,as many circus acts,they demonstrate some skills.

I found the scientific explainations a little on the simple or should I say "creative" side!...O.K ...The compression resistance of bone is stronger than many hard materials but...The scientist should prove his theory by reproducing the "trick" himself. After all,the joints of a finger (between those hard bones) are only hold by some very small tendons and ligaments.

A "Circus Act" that would put a large majority of the WCK community to shame!!!!!

Some of those monks are tough as nails! They would embarass your average KFO mouthboxer, who wouldn't last long in Shaolin's parlor.

I compare them to circus acrobats...Not circus clowns. No need to press the panic button on this!...

These "Circus Acrobats" as "you" say, would still put a large majority of "Circus WCK Clown" to shame!!!!

I don't know about you, grown ups. All clowns are good and wonderful. Long live the clowns!

The Death Of A Clown
Reminds You All Lifetime,
A Lake Full Of Tears
Overflowed The World.

The Reaper Brought Pain,
So Sad Are The Children,
Their Time Of Mourning
Will Be Forever.

Where Did He Go,
No Laughter In Heaven,
Where Did He Go,
Where Did He Stay?

The Clown Is Dead,
The Laughter Is Gone,
The Clown Is Dead,
A Life's On The Run.

Behind His Mask,
He Was Only Human,
A Person Who Feels
Like You And Me.

Can't You See The Light,
The Star That Shined So Bright,
Was It A Lucky Sign,
From Someone Who Says "I'm Allright"...

The Clown Is Dead
...Will The Laughter Return...
We'll Never Know...

Spoken Words:
Innocence, Laughter, Madness,
Tears, Death, Heaven, Pain...
