Another chapter of Foreign Grocery Store Adventures. This month’s installment: the Daiso Japanese houseware store (nearly everything is $1.99) in Los Altos, CA.

Japanese “Poo Stick”: I can’t prove it, but this “Finger Stick, Pointer for Party” looks like a “poo stick.” If anyone can read Japanese to enlighten us, or if anyone knows of any Japanese poo related games, please contact us in the comment section below.



Japanese Inflatable Breasts + Japanese George Bush Senior Mask:
Both were a meagre $1.99 each and are perfect for decorating unsuspecting sleeping people. More info on Japanese Inflatable Boobs here.

On December 11, the Japanese Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute (Computational Neuroscience Laboratories) provided the press with these two sets of images. The top set of characters was shown to a test subject, and the bottom set was scanned from the brain of the test subject.

Yes - black and white image snapshots from the human mind.

By using fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging), the ATRI-CNL team was able to map bloodflow patterns in the visual cortex of test subjects. With the aid of software and voodoo, they were able to reconstruct the images “seen” in the mind of the test subjects.
Holy sh!t!

Super-cool technology we can expect to see from this:
• “Dream photography.”
• Witnesses producing mental photographs of perpetrators and crime scenes.
• Communication with the paralyzed/comatose.
• Espionage: photography of sensitive/classified materials from memories.
• Testing “psychic abilities” by photographing “visions.”
• Marketing development: learning what images “stick.”
• Real-to-mind artwork: photographing your artistic vision.

I was recently back at my parents’ house in California, where we’ve had for a long time a troubled lemon tree that yields only a few fruit per year. This year was no exception, as it only bore two lemons– yet somehow this monster was one of them:

According to the Interwebs, it turns out that my lemon is nowhere near the world’s largest. Apparently a farmer in Israel found a lemon in 2003 that was 11 pounds and 9.7 ounces… That’s like a giant baby!

Die Hard - not only the best action movie ever, but also the best Christmas movie ever.

I was watching it today and felt compelled to create this handy graphic to keep track of the terrorist deaths in Die Hard. A drinking game could be based on this somehow.

And yes, I am a nerd for making this.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Great special effects;
Brad Pitt looked ninety years old.
But you’ll spend three hours.

Cate Blanchett is great,
Even as an old lady.
A strange but good film.

Frost/Nixon

A blast from the past,
Nixon has a sweaty lip;
Worth your ten dollars

Entertaining flick.
Frost looks just like John Edwards
Check this movie out.

Valkyrie

Explosions were cool;
Militaries are complex;
Hitler was a douche.

Cruise can’t speak German;
This movie put me to sleep;
Ultra depressing.

Not to be confused with SantaCon, earlier today I was struggling to design a suitable Santa Claus emoticon (most posted on the internet look like Gary Oldman or Homer Simpson).
Here are the ones I came up with:

In an experiment to see if Thanksgiving “Hand Turkey” technology can translate to other holidays, I’ve generated a few “Hand Santa” prototypes for your holiday enjoyment.

Scoliosis Santa - This one is Santa with a spinal injury or Santa on a trampoline.

Swandive Santa - This is Santa Claus plummeting from a great height.

Spread Eagle Santa - This one simply says “Santa is ready for some lovin’.”

Santapus - This one was an experiment to see what Santa would look like as an octopus (yeah, I know, he only has five legs - I don’t have eight fingers you moron).

To get you in the holiday spirit, here’s an uplifting rendition of “Oh, Holy Night” that is guaranteed to undeck your halls. It just gets worse and worse until you lose bladder control simply listening to it. Guaranteed to make Baby Jesus cry.
Turn up the volume and enjoy.
