This does not sit well with me
There is something wrong with the image of two grown men, and I do mean *grown* men ( as in > 35 ) having a serious discussion about Full Metal Alchemist. Tell you the truth I know nothing of the title other than the fact that 1. It's an anime series, and 2. It probably involves alchemy, may be metal. My mother has been having rather serious problems with her shoulders, so I've started teaching her Yang Taiji as well as Bagua Xiao Zhou Tian. I have my doubts on how much benefit they will really have on her shoulders, but anything that gets her to exercise more is bound to be good.
