They're actually surprisingly comfortable. :)

Taekwon Do (Black belt) and Five Animal Shaolin Kungfu (only red sash)
To Leipe_Po's questions:
1) Windows XP, Windows Mobile, Mac OS, Linus
1.a) RedHat Enterprise 3, CentOS and Corel
2) The first thing I programmed was an animation of a rocket ship taking off in grade 10 programming class.
3) Not so much any more - I think the only code in SMF that still has my fingerrpints would be some of the themes. You can still see a lot of the algorithms from the original code I worked on, but not much code. Oh wait - the header. I wrote the header we still use in the source files, and I suspect that some of the English language strings are still some of the original text ;) Beyond that, most of my code-related contributes are in the forms of mods and ideas that others have run with and expanded on, such as the whole Karma system, the magic llama mod, bookmark mod and a few others.
4) No, just mis understood.
5) "Nil" (as in Tennis - no points)
6) Umm - ok.... Cheerful/Mischevious (although this isn't necessarily an emotion, based on your examples I'm guessing you meant temperment or disposition rather than emotion. I'm sorry, but I have trouble classifying "stressed" and "horny" as emotions.....however it does beg the question "What does it mean to get in touch with ones emotions?" :P)
7) Yes you may - my left kidney decided it wanted to fail. The condition was called minimal change nephrotic syndrome.
8.) To be honest, I'm not sure. I'll chew on that and post if I an remember anything particularly weird. I have a true appreciation for surreality, so it's hard to identify the weirdest
9) A two-door Hyundai Accent. No, I don't have photos - I'm not much of a car fanatic, it's a tool to get me places :)
10) I have friends who do it, I proficient at crafting things and suspect I'd have no trouble, but no I never have.
11) LOL probably not, no :) Besides - I really doubt that people would find it that interesting - but I promise that I'll post any incriminating photos from the reception that we take ;)
12) Extra hours in the day! In all honesty though, there's not much I need right now - so I suppose all I could want would be for things to continue as they are. Or somthing edible. Food is good. ;)
13) I usually buy music. I avoid pirated music and software as much as I can.
14) Hrmm...good question. Probably because no one has suggested it to the right people. There may be technical reasons, however I can't think of any. To be honest though, we aren't suffering from transfer limitations right now, so we're doing ok.
15) Because it doesn't comply with source forge's open source requirements. Although this is free software (free as in "free beer"), we take the matter of intellectual property more seriously than others and so reserve more control over the project. That, and it's nice using our own servers
16) Do you mean historically? If you include silly one-week "let's see eachother" things from public and early high school, then probably a half-dozen or so. Right now though I'm devoted to Xiaopu - my girlfriend of the last two years.
17) No.
18) No. Not that I know of.
19) That's a hard one...hrm, peking duck is definitelye at or near the top of the list.
20) A miniature pot-bellied pig. I'd name him Gourd.
21) I think I did it ;)

I got my Black Belt In Taekwondo also :) Though if I go back to martial arts I was thinking of Jujutsu since I think it would fill in where Taekwondo loses its power.

I've found that it's not just a matter of power - it's also a matter of the artistry of it. Taekwondo is an excellent sporting martial art - very clean, crisp and a joy to watch, but the depth and richness of kungfu has definitely caught my interest :)
Mind you, I'd still love to study Capoeira or something similar.
