Splitting Car

This vehicle would make divorce a lot easier.

Leave it to the Japanese to invent a car that splits in half to prevent everyday accidents involving men with microphones standing in the middle of streets.

Yakitori Jiisan

, , , , , , , , ,

Forget the Wii Fit and your standard, time tested exercises because in the Fukishima Prefecture they were tired of looking normal or using technology to help stay in shape.

Someone in Japan must have thought that exercising would be better if you looked like a complete idiot while doing it.

That’s where Yakitori Jiisan comes in. A popular exercise made popular on the internet by how goofy it is.

Maybe blushing from embarrassment burns calories?

Awesome Gojira CGI

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Unfortunately this Gojira is from a dream sequence in the movie Always Zoku Sanchome no Yuhi.

Here’s a quote from i09.com about Always:

Always is basically Japan’s equivalent of the U.S. TV show Happy Days: the 1950s remembered with a serious dose of sugar-coating.

And yet in this scene, where one of the main characters dreams of facing off against the Big G, many people’s dreams are realized. At least, those of us who are still trying to erase from our minds the memory of the awful CGI in 1998′s U.S. Godzilla. Here’s hoping for an awesome CGI Gojira flick that ain’t just a dream.

Hopefully the geniuses behind the Gojira seen here will inspire someone else to take it further.

Shouting Vase

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Control your anger…put it in a vase.

Shout Vase2

When life gets difficult you may just want to scream, but sometimes you aren’t in a place where that is an option.

Shout Vase1

Though I can’t understand why anyone would want to pay $79 to scream into a pot. I can see it being useful for someone who has no control over the tone of their voice but this thing doesn’t even stop sound completely, it only softens it.

You can find this product at the link below but I can sell you a dirty sock and some duct tape even cheaper with a guarantee that you will get the same results.

Tea Time with a Mugger

What to do when faced with a knife-wielding criminal?

Offer them tea.

That’s what a Japanese woman did in when confronted by this armed assailant.

TOKYO (Reuters) – The 30-year-old Tokyo woman was walking along a corridor in her apartment building with her daughter on Monday when a man brandishing a knife demanded money, the Asahi newspaper said.

When the housewife told him she had none, the man barged into her apartment. Hoping to calm him, the woman made the thief a cup of tea, whereupon he put his knife away and began a 20-minute monologue about his life.

The woman then gave the man 10,000 yen (47 pounds) and ran outside to call the police from a pay phone, the report said.

Police rushed to the scene, but the thief had fled and is still being sought.

Personally, I would have offered tea, followed by a shot of pepper spray and a downward slam with the closest blunt object.
