Boxing

Boxing is often labeled as old-school in nature. The perseverance and mental fortitude required from a successful fighter is unique from other sports. When a boxer demonstrates courage and tenacity inside the ring, he is often labeled as a "throwback" to the golden days of boxing.

Boxing is an explosive, anaerobic sport. The act of throwing punches, round after round, while contending with an attacking opponent is a daunting task. It is perhaps the most physically demanding sport of all. The sport has been estimated as approximately 70-80% anaerobic and 20-30% aerobic. Anaerobic means to conduct an activity without oxygen. Anaerobic exercise, like boxing, stresses the muscles at a high intensity for short periods of time. As a boxer, one must punch, slip, and block with split second movements and reactions. A boxer must be prepared to fight with intensity, round after round. The body must be conditioned to throw the same explosive punches in the last round that you started with in round one.

Food Fart

It's when your farts somewhat resemble the smell of your food you ate a couple of hours ago. There are many different scents to farts depending on what you eat. These kind of farts may smell a little pleasing to you but totally foul to everyone around you.

Food Fart moment:

Dude 1: *Farts* Mmm burrito fart!

Dude 2: OMFG!!! It smells so disgusting! I'm never chilling with you on the days you chose to go to Taco Bell ever again. *Runs out of the room covering his nose*

Battojutsu

Battojutsu is a Japanese term meaning techniques for engaging a sword. It is often used interchangeably with the terms iaijutsu, battodo, or iaido, although each term does have nuances in the Japanese language and different schools of Japanese martial arts may use them to differentiate between techniques (e.g. standing or sitting techniques).

The emphasis of training in battojutsu is on cutting with the sword. All terms are somewhat more specific than kenjutsu (sword techniques) or kendo (the Way of the sword), as the latter two refer mostly to techniques where the sword is already out of its scabbard (saya) and is therefore engaged in combat.

Project MKUltra

The CIA's brainwashing (mind control) program from 1953-1973. It tested psychotropic drugs and experimented on U.S. citizens in order to develop mind control and interrogation techniques for use on Soviet agents and politicians. None of the "test subjects" gave their consent for these experiments and the "research" often caused permanent psychological damage for those who were subjected to this program.

• On November 28, 1953, scientist Dr. Frank Olson fell to his death from his closed 10th story hotel window. The government claimed that he suffered from a history of depression and committed suicide.

• On August 3, 1977, a congressional report on the CIA revealed that Dr. Olson was working on the top secret Project MKUltra.

• Frank Olson was experimented on just one week before his death and it is believed that he was killed by the CIA.
