Jainists have to sweep the bugs away so they don't step on them.

If you're a true Vegan you can't eat any bugs. Nor wear leather shoes. Or even converse with any bugs wearing leather shoes.

You know, when I heard GP on the radio, I thought "Great-5 pages on BF". Now, we have Chuck Norris involved. Yes, GP will be the aim of a new screenplay,
Bikes of Steel .
Watch as GP fashions numchucks out of 2 water bottles and some twine.
See GP fight off six ninjas with only mustache bars .
Revel in the velocipedal arts skills that made GP the three time world champion of Cycleocity that still has heads turning in Asia .
Learn as GP consults with the venerated Shaolin Monks as to the Real Way to Pittsburgh.
I think if it's good enough for 20 pages, it's probably good enough for American International Pictures
