Netsuke: Original Japanese Man-Purse!

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Everything Else, Pictures on February 10, 2006 at 12:36 pm

Netsuke is a Japanese miniature sculpture popular during the Edo period (1615 – 1868). This sculpture actually serve a practical purpose: since traditional Japanese male garments have no pockets, they serve as purses for money, tobacco, or medicine.

Man Ate 50 Year Old Chicken to Celebrate Anniversary.

Posted by Alex in Food & Drinks on February 10, 2006 at 12:29 pm

To celebrate their 50th year wedding anniversary, Les Lailey fulfilled his promise to eat a 50-year old canned chicken.

The Buxted Chicken tin remained in their kitchen cupboard until the couple marked 50 years together this month.

"We kept it safe, and I always said ‘on my 50th wedding anniversary I’m going to eat that chicken’ – so I did," said former soldier, Mr Lailey, aged 73.

Remarkably, Les felt fine since eating the chicken. Link

Lois Greenfield's Antigravity Dance Company.

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on February 10, 2006 at 2:01 am

From the website:

I had some of my favorite gymnasts doing somersaults in a circular formation to evoke the internal workings of watches. The maneuver was not especially difficult for such talented performers: the challenge was in coordinating the timing of each gymnast and the height of each somersault so that they would form a circle in the air.
