Yup you heard it right and that true for the an Iraqi television journalist who hurled two shoes at President Bush on Sunday during a joint news conference Bush was holding with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki to mark the signing of a U.S.-Iraq security agreement.
Bush had just finished his prepared remarks in which he said the security agreement was made possible by the U.S. surge of troops earlier this year, when the journalist, Muthathar Al Zaidi pulled his shoes off and hurled them at the president. "This is a goodbye kiss, you dog," Zaidi shouted.
Bush dodged the shoes and was not struck. Bodyguards quickly wrestled Zaidi to the floor and hauled him, kicking and screaming, from the room. Two other Iraqi journalists were briefly detained after one of them called Zaidi's actions "courageous."
In Iraq the shoe Journalist is now a national hero to be courageous enough to take such a action and is been praised by not only Iraqi's but also many Arab worlds.
Well I didn't know that by throwing A shoe will give such a fame......

Did Kung Fu Originated from INDIA.??
Some literature cite that the Kung Fu technique was taught by an Indian Monk (Bodhidharma) from Tamil nadu (South India) to the Chinese Buddhists at the Shaolin temple.
However, it also cites that Bodhidharma taught Chinese monks the art of yoga to make them physically fit as Chinese monks who were very weak. He also wanted them to be able to defend them self by the use of weapons.
As the Shaolin temple did not permit the use of any weapons this led to the 5 animal styles of Shaolin martial arts: tiger, leopard, crane, snake and dragon.
However, as other would state it The Chinese monks then integrated this system with their Kung fu (which the Chinese created) and created shaolin kung fu. Further more, Martial arts like Karate, Judo, and Tai Kwan Do are actually variants of the techniques that originated from Shaolin Kung Fu.
