I don’t actually have a kitten yet, but it looks like I will soon! Woot!
As long as I don’t end up like this:

I Fucking Love Bacon
Justin sent this to me on Monday and it still makes me chuckle. It’s probably as good a way as any to choose your religion (though obviously all you heretics out there are going to be a little screwed* come the afterlife…)
(thx to Tino)
*Or not. Or whatever.

Yōkainatomy
Yōkai Daizukai, an illustrated guide to yōkai authored by manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, features a collection of cutaway diagrams showing the anatomy of 85 traditional monsters from Japanese folklore.
The Mannen-dake (”10,000-year bamboo”) is a bamboo-like monster that feeds on the souls of lost travelers camping in the woods.
Read on to find out more about the Mannen-dake, as well as:
- the Kuro-kamikiri (Black Hair Cutter – it has the black hair, I don’t believe it has a preference as to the colour it cuts)
- the Makura-gaeshi (Pillow Mover – rather worryingly the fact that it steals souls seems to be glossed over with greater focus put on its pranksome pillow-moving)
- the Doro-ta-bō (Muddy Rice Field Man)
- the Hyōsube
- the Yanagi-baba (Willow Witch – fairly easy going compared to the rest)
- the Fukuro-sage (a type of Tanuki, complete with prominent scrotum – something they failed to include in Super Mario)
- Kasha (possible the rock-hardest of the bunch)
- Bisha-ga-tsuku (named for it’s slusky snow sound – snow bunnies watch out)
- and finally the would-be-cute-were-it-not-for-its-big-sharp-teeth, octopus-fearing Kijimunaa – hard wired for pranks

Hammer Time
Faced with daunting task of searching ~700 possible places where i could’ve left Fallout 3 I did the sensible thing and just bought the GOTY edition, so though I’ve now purchased the game twice at least this time I got all the additional DLC.
This time I went for pumping my Strength (as I was always annoyed at having to ditch stuff – what can I say, I’m a hoarder) and my G.O.A.T recommended I take Melee Weapons as one of my tagged skills. I was uncertain. Why get up close and personal when I can shoot them from a safe distance, but I decided, “What the hell,” and went for it. Best. Decision. Ever. I can’t believe i hadn’t thought how cool whacking shit would be using V.A.T.S.
All I can really say is, I can’t wait to get my Super Sledge on:
Ever wondered what $1bn could buy you? Well actually this won’t be of much use to you – if, however, you wanted to know what 10, 20, 50, 100 or 3000 billion dollars could buy you then it might come in handy.
If these figures are accurate it’s slightly scary to think that one man has the money to save the Amazon twice over, and that the internet porn industry generates enough revenue to feed and educate every child on Earth.
