How would you attract tourists to your country – perhaps a big festival, or a lovely museum. Well the Japanese are putting their faith in bras – talking bras. The bra, made by Triumph, is based on a tour guides uniform says “Welcome to Japan” in a variety of languages when pressed. Not making any of this up. There is also space for some delightful photos of Japanese landmarks. C’mon Weymouth, your turn next.
Remember those reports about ‘Hobbit’ sized fossils a while ago? Well, look at this bloody thing! Go on, look at it-stare into it’s beady little eyes, full of mischief and malintent. Well, this..uhhh…whatever it is was apparently snapped on Thursday in Qatar, not far from the Oryx statue (which if anything is even more freaky), by a local lady in a parking lot.
Now admittedly it does look like a melted Gammorean Guard figurine, but she was backed up by about a dozen other witnesses, and it’s a bit late for an April fools, so lets file this under ‘Waaaaargh!’ and try not to think about it while watching Stephen King’s ‘Cat’s Eye’ shall we?

Childrens animation straight out of North Korea. Weirdness incarnate. A bizzare mix of cuter than Hello Kitty anthropomorphic animals, and fairly realistic millitary hardware. We’d really like to see a slightly crap fansub of this so we know what’s going on. Help us lazyweb!
Truly bizarre news from Japan today (And I mean BIZARRE-Even for Japan!). According to several Nippon based news agencies, Matoba Electric is in a whole heap of cheesy-smelling trouble due to it’s high power foot massager, the”Shape-Up Roller II” apparently killing several customers who “Mis-Used” the product. Now while I can see the dangers of mis-using a 2 foot long industrial massage unit, in this case the clearest details are of one young lady who was strangled while removing the cover. According to Matoba:
“(Matoba) have issued an apology and clear instructions to all users, in an attempt to prevent further fatalities, but as yet see no reason to recall the product.”
So. A foot massager that kills people with it’s bloody wrapper doesn’t need to be recalled. Great, now you can’t even relax without worrying about it.
