WTF?
| “Translated as 'Supreme Ultimate Martial Art'”
“Tai Chi movements can even be adapted to wheelchair users”
[Editorial Note: this is quite the paradox.]
| “Chai is a wonderful spice milk tea from India that is being discovered by contemplative beverage drinkers around the world.”
[Editorial Note: what the hell is “contemplative” supposed to mean?]

For self-defense?
| Could come in very handy, especially if you learn it as a martial art form instead of just a form of exercise.
| Depends. If it is hot enough, it might work to throw on your assailant and scald them, thus giving you time to get away. Otherwise you might offer it in an attempt to appease your assailant, though statistically speaking it is likely to further provoke his anger.

What are the chances my friends will think I’m gay?
| 15% chance. Chances go up if you are doing exercises in a public place with a group.
| 65% chance. Chances go up if you are a guy and you drink it at Starbucks with another guy friend while toting GAP or Abercrombie shopping bags. Chances go up even more if you are both wearing black turtlenecks.
