Cool, Kayaker! Now can you find Buddha? I had him, all fat and happy, sitting on a shelf in my old apartment; rubbed his belly every morning. Then I got married and moved. Apparently that irked the little guy, and I haven’t seen him since.

I’m pretty sure its really bad karma to upset Buddha. I’ll bet he really needs his belly rubbed, and he is just getting more and more irked. Help me Kayaker, you are my only hope! 😉

That’s actually [Budai or Pu-Tai](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Buddha), not the Buddha. I’ve known Buddhist, non-ethnic-Chinese Thais who were positively offended by him.

He’ll be back in 3 days.
