What are all these rabbits doing front an empty Japanese hotel?

Would you believe the bunnies are escaping an abandoned chemical warfare plant?

Rest-of-the-story…
The photo was taken in what is now an island park called Okunoshima located in the Inland Sea of Japan in Hiroshima Prefecture (see map below).

However, from 1925 to 1945 the island was a top secret chemical weapon facility (R) that produced over six kilotons of mustard gas and tear gas. Now Okunoshima is an island with a hotel, a six-hole golf course and a camp ground. When the island was developed as a park after World War II, these rabbits were intentionally set loose. Many rabbits were used in the chemical munitions plant to test the effectiveness of the chemical weapons during World War II (Wiki).

Today I had an epiphany.

I must have seen this small sign in front of Tokyo houses thousands of times.

Somehow, only today did I realize what it meant:

NO SALARYMEN.

A friend* just posted an amusing Match.com report entitled…

5 body-language signs of attraction—match.com
Sign #2: Pigeon toes
Pigeon toes may not sound like the sexiest of gestures, but an inward rotation of the feet suggests definite interest of a romantic nature...more...

Yikes! I had no idea that this remarkable pigeon-toed† girl who plopped in the seat facing me on the train to Tokyo’s Shinjuku district today was actually madly in love with me.

Check out this magic “Modern Girl*” wearing a strap-on hooked into a 300,000 volt Tesla Coil to shower bolts of artificial lightning on the three girls below holding conductor rods.

The “20th Century Weekly” of September 14, 1930 describes photo as depicting a magic performance of the strap-on wearing magician Shokyokusai Tenkatsu† and her Flower Heaven Troupe employing a “high-voltage large-magnet.” The troupe’s repertoire featured, “conducting scientific experiments by passing high-frequency current through humans at 300,000 volts.” Electrifying.

*Modern girl (, modan gaaru or moga) in the 1920s were Japan’s equivalent of America’s flappers (more on Wikipedia).

Kinda has that same creepiness to it as the QP Tarako commercial (3Yen / 2006-09-28) ..

—J-car kink!—
I saw this 40-min. program in Japanese on Discovery Channel here in Japan a couple of moths ago. Now here’s the English version of Discovery Channel’s “Retro Car Kings” showing pimped out new J-cars and restorations of old sport cars from Japan (and other lesser parts of world)…

Today on reddit-japan somebody quipped that they, “always wanted the Japanese female elevator voice as my text tone.”

Little did they realize that here in autistic-otaku Japan there would be many OCD websites featuring fembot elevator voices such as the illustrious YouTuber, elevatorboy1000, and his video channel of hundreds upon hundreds of elevator clips.
