I'm not aware of them living wild in the forest, though I suppose there could be some. Think they'd be more hermits though than monks. Not that I know the first thing about monks really. Peace-loving bastards.

Well you should. It's not rocket science. Some monks live in prayerful solitude, while some do charitable work.

Obviously I'm saying I know only the basics, and am admitting there may be things about monks about which I am ignorant. I'm sure you don't know all about them either, Ben.

I know that the Irish monks saved Western civilization.
German monk made beer and Italian monks made Cappuccino and French monks make Brandies and Liquors. What else is there to know?

Benedictine is the ****. One of the most amazing tastes you will ever experience, supposedly a secret combination of flowers and herbs passed down from monk to monk.
