Culture Buzz It’s time someone gives master cosplayer Omi Gibson the Voight-Kampff test — she’s a pretty convincing Rachael. Not so much the Japanese Deckard or Edward James Olmos guy below, but Omi … she might actually be a replicant.
Culture Buzz The bold shapes and colors in these 1920s-40s matchbox covers are fantastic examples of Art Deco in Japan. Some of them look like they came straight out of a Paris jazz club but, you know, with more octopus. (via maraid.co.uk)
Food Buzz I don't know what's going on here, but I'm pretty sure I had a nightmare about this once.
Tech Buzz The name for the new personal assistant on iPhone 4S is going to be the butt of many jokes. Tim Cook really looked like an ass. Apple will never hear the end of this. Whoever came up with this name was a bum. I can't think of a pun for anus. And so forth.
Culture Buzz Man, oh man, I hope this is real. Apparently, the Japanese toilet company Toto has designed a tricycle that actually runs on human feces. This might be the single greatest invention of the Century, but … where do you keep the toilet paper?
The researchers at Japan's Kajimoto Laboratory have been hard at work trying to invent a kiss transmission device that mimics the movements of an actual kiss. This is awkward at it's best. Now add the sperm collection machine, and you're set. Forever alone!
Science Buzz An 8.9 earthquake struck the northeast coast of Japan on Friday, followed by a series of aftershocks and tsunamis. Parts of Honshu were submerged after a wave swept ashore. Here are pictures from the recent coverage.
This is just 42 seconds of cute, cute, cute! I really want to learn how to make amigurumi.
Prepare to be freaked out big time! What you're about to see is a clip from an old Japanese movie named Tampopo and there is no way you'll ever see eggs or kissing the same way again afterwards. I mean, seriously Japan, WTF?
You don't need to know Japanese to get this video. Unwanted groping is understandable in every language.

You walk, I walk, but the Japanese? They precision walk.
Only in Japan would you find commercials this bizarre. From what I can tell, it's an ad for a theme park…which makes so much sense.
A Japanese game show in which a bite-sized critter needs to be transported (by mouth) through a series of curtains into a new habitat. For a lot of these animals, a Japanese man's mouth is the most efficient and safe way to be transported. So really, these men are heroes.
As if golf couldn't get any sexier, you can always count on the Japanese to make it so.
A man in Japan has perfected the art of making schoolgirl panties take flight. I think this guy deserves a Nobel prize and/or MacArthur Genius Grant so that he can continue his research.
