Wonder if Tina Turner is one of the other 99.

Alternate title: More weird stuff from Japan.

Gum is pink-flavored. Cola is brown-flavored. Neither of those is found in nature.

Browsing Google Earth, I learned 3 things:
1) That's not Darby Island. Darby Island is southeast of this island.
2) The runway is so overgrown now, it's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. But the castle is there.
3) David Copperfield's island is a little bit north of this one. He'd be your neighbor.
Wonder how these remote islands deal with electricity. And plumbing. And sewage.

Thanks to the fast-food places that provide a place where you already know what you're ordering and you don't have to play that horrible American pastime: tipping.

Wonder if he has a volleyball to keep him company.

That article is the most exciting thing I've read in a long time! Instead of predictable reboots and sequels, why doesn't Hollywood make a movie based on this? I'd watch it.

Watching that 1mm-thin plastic sheet bulge up with murky beef-stew water is the scariest thing I've seen in years.

The stress that comes with being wealthy. The rest of us will never understand.

Geez those guys are mean about cutting pie. Can't imagine what kind of rules they give a kid for cutting cheese.

Regardless of their real age/photoshop skills, the one in the middle needs to eat more. Look at her legs.

The 2 weeks of military training for freshmen = 2 weeks of free time for the teachers!
I taught at a college in China that was too small to qualify for military training. Instead, the freshmen students had 2 weeks of vocational metal-work training (welding, milling, lathes, grinding, etc.) I didn't want to sit around bored for 2 weeks, so I asked the college if I could go through the course with my students. It was fun! During the 2 weeks, everyone was required to make a metal hammer that had to fall within certain specifications. Unfortunately, I lost mine a few years later.

Ground-up fat, udders, and salt. No thanks. I'll just eat the bun.
