Japan's 'Flying Female Panties Day' 3-6-10
Today we discovered that back on March 6, 2010, Japan had it's first 'Flying Female Panties Day' in Akihabara, Tokyo. According to Hobby Media, this started as a collaboration between the award-winning science fiction writer Hōsuke Nojiri and a company known as Questioners and some other geeks including Nico Nico Video's [NHK] Live Webcast group and others. So they all got together planned and promoted this one-day event and also developed a unique "ornithopter" made of elastic, balsa wood and women's undergarments for the "Sky Festival" that was held in Akihabara, Tokyo.
Akihabara or "Akiba" is commonly known as "Electric Town" and nowadays it has become Tokyo's sexy central with various cos-play fashion stores, maid cafes and a very popular 7-story sex shop known as m's.
Prior to the "Sky Festival", they also produced a very cute very annoying Japanese language video showing how to correctly make the bikini briefs into flying sexual harassment machines:
So to summarize, basically, the Questioners company developed and sold some 2,000 yen “Panty ornithopter” kits that were then made into some rubber-band powered perverted planes. Other people brought other planes and flew them too and Nico Live [NHK] braodcast the entire day's activities live on the internet. At this point, it is very tempting to just say "Because Japan" on all of this. But, actually, there was a reason for this production. And that was that this event was inspired by a viral web video entitled "Sora No Otoshimono Ending 2" which depicts hundreds of women’s panties magically flying like birds:
Yes folks, believe it or not, they reenacted a famous anime TV show ending! Now that is some serious loyalty, indeed. It should also be noted that the Sora no Otoshimono "Heaven's Lost Property" show is a very well-known "romantic comedy" loved by millions of people in Japan and throughout the world.

North Korean Poet's Rhymes of Murder, Despair
Drawing by Jang Gil-su
Defected NKorea poet writes of hunger, desperation Via Associated Press/Google By SYLVIA HUI July 1, 2012
LONDON (AP) — He says he was one of late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's favorite propaganda artists, singing the praises of the Dear Leader in dozens of poems. But these days Jang Jin-sung says he prefers to tell the truth about North Korea. The former state poet, who defected to South Korea in 2004, now writes to tell the world about what he calls the brutality of everyday life in the North. "North Korea has nuclear programs, but South Korea has the media," said Jang, who is in London for a global poetry festival involving poets from countries competing in the July 27 to Aug. 12 London Olympics. "Truth is the strongest weapon." Continued..."Executioner" - By Jang Jin-sung Wherever people are gathered there are gunshots to be heard. Today, as the crowd looks on a man is executed. ‘You are not to feel any sympathy! Even when he’s dead, we must kill him again!’ The loudspeakers’ words are interrupted. Bang! Bang! The rest of the message is delivered. Why is it that today the crowd is silent? His crime: to steal a bag of rice. His sentence: ninety bullets in his heart. His occupation: farmer.

Floating VW Chinese Concept Car is Fake but Cool
Via Flixxy.com June 20, 2012
Last month at the 2012 Beijing auto show, via the below computer-animated video, Volkswagen introduced its new concept car that hovers just above the road. In order for this "flying car" to work, it would require a massive underground electromagnetic strip network embedded below the roads. In the simulation video, the parents of the anonymous girl who won the People’s Car project with this design, get to "test drive" this hover car by buzzing around local streets and highways of Beijing:

Photo of Potala Palace in Lhasa Tibet
XXX Large Size
Here is a very beautiful photo of the Potala Palace located in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It is the former residence of the Dalai Lama until he fled the uprising in 1959.
Nowadays it is somewhat difficult to get to Tibet as a tourist but it is not impossible. Such a trip involves obtaining both a China visa and an internal tourist visa. Once in Lhasa, travelers must hire an official tour guide to see this spectacular palace. Then, once inside Potala Palace, tourists are allowed a one hour time limit. Exceeding that limit will mean a huge fine and a sanction against the tour guide.

Because China: Telephone Pole Repair Work
Via Daily Guilin This is either an ad for Chinese Duct Tape or this is a photo of actual telephone pole repair work done in Guilin, China. Most likely it was yet another car or truck accident that brought down this pole. Then they just taped it back up with some kind of tape and, obviously, now it's fixed. Why? Because China.

Buy A North Korean Bride Only $50,000!!!
According to the North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity group, businessmen in China and other countries can now legally purchase a young North Korean bride for a mere $50,000! North Korean authorities have recently started to promote these “transnational marriages” between North Korean beauties and elite businessmen of foreign firms to attract foreign investment into North Korea. Previously, such marriages were against the law in the DPRK.
Now they are encouraged. After the foreigner pays the equivalent of US$50,000 to the DPRK Authorities then the Supreme Leader's government will select a young North Korean bride for the foreigner to wed. It seems like a kind of "official" human trafficking system within the North Korean government. South Korean experts have called this new offering a "honey trap" that shows just how desperately poor the Kim regime is now.
But wait there's more! After the foreigner and his new bride are married, the foreigner is then granted the right to do business in North Korea. If no business or no investment is made, then the foreign exec will be required to pay an additional US $1 million.
Most likely, not so many will go for this new deal. But in case any potential buyers want to know more, here is a good sneak peek preview of what to look forward to with North Korea's cheerleader squad known as The Army of Beauties:

You know with a bento like this, no one will ever steal it from the office fridge. Usually, housewives in Japan make bento lunches for their salarymen husbands. And, clearly, this bento was made with a different kind of "love" in mind. Maybe necrophilia? O.o

North Korean Anti-Nuclear Postcard 1989
XXX Large Size
Recently discovered in a garage sale in Berlin, here is a very rare and interesting postcard from Pyongyang, North Korea in 1989. At that time, the "Eternal Leader" Kim Il Sung was in charge and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union had just begun. This left North Korea completely on it's own and economic difficulties increased as Kim refused to do any kind of reform. Oddly enough, this postcard is anti-nuclear with the slogan "Do Not Spoil the Blue Sky!" prominently featured against the background of a mushroom cloud. It wasn't until 1994 when the DPRK started nuclear power research and production. The rainbow and white doves also indicate some kind of desire for peace and the multicolored hands show some hope for unity. Most likely the regime was really afraid of being attacked and/or nuked by South Korea at that time.

Ascending Mt Hua in China = NOPE!
Mt Hua is located about 120 kilometers east of Xi'an inside Huayin City in the Shaanxi province and has an altitude of 2200 meters. It is one of China's five great mountains and has a very long and interesting history. Centuries ago it was believed that the god of the underworld lived inside the mountain. Also many immortality seekers would often visit for the many herbal Chinese medicines and powerful drugs that were found there. There are many centuries-old beautiful temples and other religious structures located on it's slopes and peaks. Mt. Hua has five major peaks and is popular for hiking and climbing. One's journey to the summit begins here:
The above photo is the beginning of the two vertical "walking" trails that start in Huashan village and continues for six (6) kilometers to the North Peak (1614 m) the lowest of all the peaks. One youtuber named mtarascio climbed the cliffside path with no safety harness while simultaneously filming the below video:

CinemaGazer: High Speed Video Viewing
From the inventor of the STFU SpeechJammer here is another wacky invention that enables video viewing at very high speed and at "understandably fast" speed. Yes, now you too can watch a full-length Superman cartoon TV episode in just four fast minutes (240 seconds) with the versatile CinemaGazer!
But wait there's more!
For you video viewing experts out there it is now possible to watch that same Superman cartoon TV episode in just TWO MINUTES (120 seconds):
This is all done through a "versatile video encoder that enables movie viewing with two-level fast-forwarding on any mobile device by specifying the speed of playback, the reading rate, or the overall viewing time." This new tool can be downloaded for free from here. It is Windows compatible only and the documentation is all in Japanese only. Perhaps there is some usefulness for this encoder but the time required to encode an average 30-minute TV segment down to two or four minutes is not specified. But for sure that task will require some hours, indeed.

Chinese Are Superior in Parallel Parking
Via Guinness World Records Beijing - May 31, 2012
During the recent launch party for the ‘Chinese Job’ special Mini car, professional driver Han Yue set a new world record for the tightest parallel parking when he drifted his 'Chinese Job' Mini car into a very tight parking space between two other minis with only 15 centimeters between the cars. Officials from the Guiness Book of World Records confirmed the new mark which beat the previous record by an incredible 7 cm. On April 17, 2012, professional stunt driver Patrik Folco of Italy set the previous Guiness World record in Rome, Italy by parking with only 22 cm. difference between the cars. That mark was thought to have been unbeatable, however Han Yue bested the old record on his first attempt and set the new mark in his seventh attempt:

Rare Photo of David Bowie in 1955
Here is a rare photo of David Bowie at the age of eight in 1955. At that time he was attending the Burnt Ash Junior School and he sang in the school choir. His voice was considered "adequate" but his recorder playing showed an "above-average musical ability". At the age of nine his dancing ability was said to be "vividly artistic" and "astonishing" for a child.
