everlasting bananas???

They just came up with a product that prevents bananas from rotting. If you spray that product on the banana it should stay all yellow and pretty for 12 days. The components of that product supposedly reduce the banana`s breathing and kill the bacterias (which are the reasons why it gets brown)... That would sure help reduce the amount of bananas that go to waste in supermarkets everyday but at the same time I do not really want to have more chemicals added on my fruits! What do you think???

Not alone?

With the mars rover cruising around at the moment, 
its got a lot of people thinking about extraterrestrial life. 
Well statistics wise, we are definitely not alone. 
Take a look at this interesting BBC interactive chart, 
just click on the alien for the link.

WHAT! No my shirt says 'Samurai'


Yesterday I was talking to a student about the recent blog post 'Some weird clothing', and how it is not only Japanese people who wear clothes with strange English writing on them, but also sometimes foreigners who wear clothes with strange Japanese writing on them. 



But it does not stop there, Oh No! 

Recently it has become a trend in western countries like Australia and America for people to get TATTOOS written in Kanji or another Asian language alphabet. The fact that both the tattoo artist and the customer do not speak the language they are using, and are often just using 'Google Translate' means that idiots are often left with odd or nonsensical words permanently carved into their flesh!

The website HANZISMATTER is dedicated to chronicling the misuse of Chinese characters in western culture. Check it out!

The "Invisible" Helmet???

Here's a new invention for all you bike riders.  Introducing the "invisible" helmet!


Huh?  Where's the helmet?  Well, the helmet is inside the collar.  Yup, now you can look stylish and still be protected.  When you do get into an accident, the helmet inflates and looks like this.


Now when it inflates, it doesn't look that stylish, but it sure will protect your head.  For more information, check out this site.

Mr. Cricher

Advanced kids class today had to 
think up a monster and tell the class about it. 
One kid came up with the horrifying "Mr. Cricher". 
A truly frightening abomination, 
Mr Cricher likes to lick old people, 
eat their ears and the punch them in the teeth! 
I think I'm going to have nightmares....

Some weird clothing

How many of you have seen people wear shirts that have absolutely no meaning or the wrong meaning?  I have walked through the streets of Japan and have seen people of all ages wearing some weird worded clothing.  And, I always wonder do you know what that means?  I hope none of you fall into this category.  Well here are some weird clothes from engrish.com:




 I hope that is not a man wearing this shirt....  It kind of looks like one.  Again, do you know the meaning of this shirt???


So you want a strong smelling boyfriend???  Really?  



OK.....  lots of "the" and yes exercise is a necessity but huh???



umm no.  I don't want to pass chewed meat back and forth with anyone.
