Varmint Control!!

So I just saw the funniest video ever. My uncle, who has a skydiving company and a fax company, started ANOTHER company (how many is he going to have???), I think called Varmint Control. He and some buddies I guess take out gophers...they load propane and oxygen I think and besically feed it into gopher holes, and then ignite it. (I think that's how they do it.) The explosive force kills the gophers in the holes and it also caves in the tunnel system. In any case, Uncle Ron (aka Rondo) made this promo video of him and his buddies clearing out a dz (drop zone)....oh my gosh it is so funny. Well I think it is cuz I am related to him. Ha ha. But the ground totally explodes around the guys. Go to www.varmintcontrol.com to see it...it's amazing, hahaha.

On an unrelated note:
I did yoga with my parents this morning. It's called Bikram's yoga...it's a heated room (everyone drips sweat there, no exaggeration) and the intructor keeps a running dialogue. There's no chant or mantra that we need to follow, some of it is stretching like I would normally do except it's called things, like camel or tree or eagle pose. The instructors all swear up and down that it's good for spinal stuff, lets out toxins and releases calcium buildups, etc etc (although the instructor said today about one pose that it restores or repairs brain cells or something, I don't know but I wanted to laugh, lol) but all in all it was a really good workout. I've done Bikram's before I came to Bible College.
What do you guys think about yoga? This kind we don't do any mind exercises or anything or special meditations, but I heard a pastor say recently that the poses are like modeled after eastern gods or something. Do you think it opens the doors to anything? What are your thoughts?
