Ever wonder what that Asian looking tattoo you saw on the smoking hot babe last night meant? Love, peace, beautiful? How about “Crazy Diarrhea”? You would be surprised to find out that there may be more than a few people have written truly stupid things on themselves.

Japan snaps up ‘lucky’ Kit Kats
Also mentioned on Metropolis:
” The sale of lucky charms sky-rocketed as high school students prepared to sit their university entrance exams, with Kit Kat chocolate bars (kitto katsu meaning something like “it’s a sure thing I’m going to beat this game”) proving particularly popular, including a chocolate bar designed to recall the calm of matcha tea.”

I found a Japanese page on energy efficent home lighting fixtures that use LEDs. I’d like to be able to buy lights like these from Homedepot. I bought a set of LED Christmas lights for my brother, I’ll have to pick up a set for myself next year.
Do it Ene it with the lighting of conserving?
I found a few more links to LEDs in the home. The Luxeon lamps are just darn bright, I’d like a few of them. The second link is a great review of high brightness LEDs and other LED applications. Dans Data is a pretty handy site for finding info about stuff.
