I don't remember David Carradine using IM & T9

Okay, I love this - you know you're in the mainstream when Shaolin monks are doing IM and using cellphones. What would the remake of the lines from Kung Fu be - something like:

Master Kan: Quickly as you can, snatch the cellphone from my hand.

[Young Caine tries to do so and fails]

Master Kan: When you can take the cellphone from my hand and text "what, no pebble?", it will be time for you to leave.

Shaolin monks enjoy cell phones, Internet

ZHENGZHOU, China: Most monks above the age of 18 on the Shaolin Temple's martial arts team use mobile phones and surf the Internet daily, their chief coach has said.

Head coach Shi Yanlu revealed the modern life enjoyed by monks in an interview with the Xiaoxiang Morning Post.

Shi said they also use QQ, China's most popular instant messaging service, China Daily said Friday.

A kung fu monk is given a monthly allowance of $25 by the temple.
