Where is your dot?

[shockinglycool]

Dot?

[moarcowbell]

Forehead dot.

[shockinglycool]

That's Hindi, not Buddhist.

[moarcowbell]

I thought that was a monk thing.

And bald heads.

[shockinglycool]

There's more 'n one kinda monk. Christians have 'em too, probably other religions. I'm a monk of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, up on Koya, Wakayama prefecture... well, the shaved heads thing is right, but the forehead dots are a different religion entirely.

[moarcowbell]

That was very informative, youngin.

[shockinglycool]

Well, I am a monk. It'd be bad if I didn't know this stuff.

[moarcowbell]

Excuse me father for I have sinned.

[shockinglycool]

That's Christianity.

[moarcowbell]

You're good at this.

[shockinglycool]

I've done some religious studies...

[moarcowbell]

If you were a tree which tree would you be?

[shockinglycool]

Pine...?

[moarcowbell]

The correct answer was a peach tree.

[shockinglycool]

I'll remember.
