Last month a Fukushima Deformed Baby Rabbit w/ No Ears was discovered in the town of Namie just outside the 18-mile exclusion zone of Fukushima's crippled reactors. Since then, Namie has been identified as a radiation hot-spot.
Now three baby bunnies with no ears were recently born in China. These rabbits were discovered in Chengkou County, Chongqing Municipality of Southwest China. The earless rabbits have bald heads and gray eyes instead of hairy heads and red eyes. The rabbits' owner Aunt Geng was interviewed yesterday by CCTV:
Reporter: "Did the previous rabbits given birth by the same mother rabbit have ears?"
Aunt Geng: “The previous ones have ears. Only rabbits that were born this time don't.”
"What else can you do if your obsessive colleague shows up to work in a homemade Iron Man suit? That's what Wang Xiao Kang did one day at telecom equipment maker ZTE's Shanghai offices."
"It's not an easy thing to create an Iron Man suit, and Wang apparently spent months building his version of the Mark I version despite having no DIY experience."
Years ago, believe it or not, Japan actually installed a new ocean in Japan:
And now according to Popular Science once again Japan has outdone itself in WTFvckery and useless inventions and installed a new world in Japan:
"If you want to see what Earth looks like from space, become an astronaut (or, barring that, a space tourist). For the next best view, pay a visit to Tokyo’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation where a massive, nearly 20-foot spherical OLED orb--the world’s first large scale spherical OLED--offers a satellite’s-eye view of the planet in super high resolution."
Uhmmmmm.....if you stop the above video at 0:38 you can clearly see that this harmless-looking useless invention is actually a brand new Death Star:
Recently, the State Administration of Radio Film and Television in China banned, among other things, time travel on TV. Perhaps this hilarious WTF Chinese TV commercial for 7up had something to do with that WTF decision:
In case you missed it the first ever North Korean Amateur Open golf tournament was held last month at the Pyongyang Golf complex.
Olli Lehtonen from Finland was the overall winner with an individual score of 84. Lehtonen and fellow Finlander Johannes Raitio finished first in the doubles tourney with a joint score of 72. Below is a French video by Frederic Stevens showing scenes from Pyongyang and some footage of the tournament:
According to the Chosun Ilbo another player recently said that there were about 30 female caddies at the complex in their 20s or 30s, many of them graduates of the prestigious Kim Il-sung University. "Caddies were beautiful and considerate," he said. "After I finished playing golf, I came out of the shower at the club house, and there was a woman dressed in traditional Korean costume holding a towel. I instantly wondered whether there was another service waiting for me, but there was no 19th hole."
The Pyongyang Golf complex is the legendary course which was opened by Kim Jong Il in 1987. On that day, in his first ever round of golf, Kim shot a world-record 38 under par with 11 holes in one!
Back in March of this year Analect Films and ivaasks and others came together and made this award-winning documentary movie about the Family Radio entitled "Matthew 24:14":
(Dow Jones) - "Giant polyester covers will soon be placed around the damaged reactor buildings at Japan's Fukushima nuclear complex to help contain the release of radioactive substances into the atmosphere, the plant operator said Friday."
"Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) will install the first cover at the No. 1 reactor, the focus of recent stabilization efforts, starting next month."
"Workers will erect a steel framework and place a giant polyester tent-like cover around the reactor building. Similar covers will be placed around units No. 3 and 4. The work is expected to be completed by the end of the year."
