Ranma 1/2 was the first really long anime series I watched several years ago.

Ive seen all of Inu Yasha, not a complicated story but enjoyable.
And about 100 eps of Urusei Yatsura which is about as weird and complicated as anything can get. Im a big Rumiko fan.
Think I would have watched more Ranma if the quality of the DVDs was better that I was watching.
I think the first ep of Ranma was one of the funniest things Ive ever seen.

Contact: De Niro To Open Japanese Hotels
ROBERT DE NIRO is expanding his business empire with a new chain of Japanese-themed hotels. It will be the latest of his Nobu ventures, and follows a string of Japanese restaurants around the world - a partnership with chef Nobu Matsuhisa and Richie Notar. The first Nobu hotel will open in the Israeli resort of Herzliya this summer, followed by one in New York's financial district over the next two-to-four years. Notar jokes of the new hotel, which will have a Japanese flavour throughout, "Instead of a mint on the pillow, you could find a sushi roll."

Are you talkin' to me? [/list:u]On the other hand, , , Texas Man Tries to Cash $360 Billion Dollar Check[/list:u]FORT WORTH, Texas - Charles Ray Fuller must have been planning one big record company. The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion check, saying he wanted to start a record business. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious — perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check tipped them off.

Fuller, of suburban Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge. He was released after posting $3,750 bail.

Fuller said his girlfriend's mother gave him the check to start a record business. But bank employees who contacted the account's owner said the woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the check.

In addition to the forgery count, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana. Officers reported finding less than two ounces of marijuana and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine in his pockets.

Uh, why would she write a check for that amount in the first place, even if she did have the money? :crazy: :shakehead:

Maybe she should be in jail for stupidity.

ditto :crazy2:

Even for $360 000, the check would have taken forever to cash. I think he smoked too much weed. :hehe:

It's rather uncanny, huh?

I found this surfing the WWW:

Sorry about the topic,

But it seems every time I eat daikon I have to fart like crazy.. and they smell horrible.. it nearly makes me barf just thinking about it..

It doesn't matter how the daikon is prepared, boiled, shredded, fried, cooked,
it doesn't matter what else it is served with, regardless, I always have to fart and the smell is unbearable..

Any of you experience this farting phenomena with daikon? If so, did you ever find a way to treat the fart attacks? I mean after I eat the daikon I usually have to fart all day long..

I know, I could just stop eating daikon, but it is kind of rude to not eat something that a family member makes and serves to you..

Any food I can eat with the daikon to neutralize the gas effect?

LOL!

I never heard of the fart attack thingy, but I do burp when I eat daikon. Mind you, they're known for helping with the digestive process, so mebbe that's why the gas increases.
