Overnight Open Thread

Now that that whole Super-thingy is over it's time for the important stuff.

All Toilets Are Not Created Equal

Longtime readers know about the struggles I've had with Japanese toilets. And for those of you snickering and suspecting that all that cheap Chinese crank may have taken its toll...well just imagine if you had to program your VCR in a foreign language every time you wanted to flush - and guessing wrong gets you sprayed in the face or worse.

Read the rest to find out where the blue comes from.

Top 10 Strange Japanese Films You Need to Watch

There are strange movies, and then there are stranger movies. Movies that simply cannot be described with words alone. There are movies you see, and then there are movies you experience. This list compiles ten of the strangest Japanese movies that simply must be seen to be believed.
Sadly I've only seen one of these - Versus. Note that some of the trailers may be NSFW.

Genius or Insanity: Pizzagna

If Garfield were real, this brilliant combination of pizza and lasagna would be enough to give him a heart attack…assuming he didn’t already have one as a result of his terrible diet and lethargic lifestyle.
