The Wu-tang Manual is absolutely hilarious.

Before we get to the chess, cinema, or drugs section, lets consider some stratagems for confrontation:
1. create something out of nothing
2. advance to Chencang by a hidden path
3. watch the fire burning across the river
4. conceal a dagger in a smile
5. sacrifice plums for peaches
6. take a goat in passing
