Japan - News/General Discussion

I heard no one dies but a couple people were injured in Kyoto. The quake was centered in the Sea of Japan. I think the Tsunami it caused did most of the damage from what I heard. I spoke to my friend in Kobe she said she barely noticed it.

wow thats good to hear :metaldevil:

There is another typhoon heading Japan's way...

Just like Hurricane Ivan coming for the "one-two" right after Hurricane Frances............

Kowai na... :sweat:

More like "one-two-three" (Charlie, Frances, Ivan)... yeah I live in Florida and a friend of mine in Japan wrote me back about how she's enduring nature's fury over there too. :shakehead:

I hope you are doing o.k. with all those storms. I saw on the news all the damage looks terrible.

I saw on tv in a city 85% of the houses were destroyed by Ivan ( Not in Japan)...

Yeah, that's some pretty jacked up stuff. Hopefully *knocking on wood* there is no more hurricanes for the year already....

A Japanese manufacturer has found a niche bound to improve the lives of single women everywhere.

Kameo's Boyfriend Arm Pillow resembles a man's torso, shoulder and arm, offering a cozy space sized to fit and comfort its lonely owner.

The pillow comes with two removable shirts its owner can use to bone-up on washing and pressing. One model also doubles as an alarm clock that shakes to wake its sleeping companion.

eIt has been so successful we have had to draw up a waiting list," A spokesman for Kameo said. "Women of all ages have been queueing round the block to take one home.f

Priced at around $74, the pillow is currently available only in Japan - though, according to press reports, Kameo may soon be exporting it to Britain.

Kameo is also planning to test the waters of the men's market; a limited edition Girlfriend Arm Pillow is to be released in the near future.

What these girls really need is a guy, not a pillow. Take this guy for example:

If they hooked up, there wouldn't be a need for the pillows! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

But if a girl with one of those wacky pillows and this weirdo hooked up, then the pillows would hook up too. See, everyone wins. :beaten:
