Nothing says WIN like bathing in beer

Everyone wants to try something at least once. Well, Bandai has started a new line of products to help people do the things they've always wanted to try…

Earlier this month, Bandai released a new shampoo fragrance: Beer.

This body shampoo sells in single-serve bottles. Just add hot water, shake, and celebrate in the shower.

According to Bandai, the beer smell comes from actual hops extract. The beer shampoo is intended to simulate the act of pouring a bottle of beer on ones self (or a friend), but without the consequences (read: messiness) that comes with doing it with real beer.

No breakfast = plenty of sex

According to a recent study done in Japan, people who skip breakfast tend to lose their virginity earlier. I wouldn't have believed it myself if I had not read this.

In a study of 3000 people, those who did not regularly eat breakfast in their early teens said they lost their virginity at an average age of 17.5, versus an overall average age of 19 for all Japanese.

60-year-old man dies after being tossed

How many people does it take to throw a 60-year-old man in the air? Apparently, not as many as it takes to catch him. It just goes to show that retiring from work isn't enough to escape the malice of coworkers.

Random Japanese funeral arrangement

According to reports, police have begun questioning colleagues of 60-year-old Seiji Sakumoto, who was hospitalized on November 18, 2007 when his coworkers hoisted him up in the air in celebration…then forgot to catch him. As a result of the fall, Sakumoto sustained neck and backbone trauma, paralyzation (loss of limb use), and respiratory failure. He died on September 2008 due to blood poisoning as a result of his injuries.

The wife has filed complaints accusing three of Sakumoto's subordinates of gross negligence. Police are now planning to establish a criminal case against them since they have already confessed to the allegations. More people are believed to have taken part in the incident, but seeing as how the majority of the attendees were drunk, the police may have a hard time getting others to even remember what happened, let alone admit guilt.

Representatives of the transportation company Sakumoto worked for in Ritto have replied saying:

"The accident was unfortunate, and we express our condolences over the fact that the man died. However, the farewell party was held voluntarily and as a company we have no particular comment."

While the mourning family maintains that this could have been prevented, perhaps this is simply a new retirement plan in testing for the company. With the economy in its current state of recession, instead of paying out benefits and having to buy cheap, gold-plated watches, maybe the company will just start offing their employees as they get older.

This is yet another reason to appreciate those bargain-basement retirement gifts.

Kami Kami Sensor (bite counter)

A pedometer for your mouth.

The Kami Kami Sensor hooks over the ears, with sensors at the jaw and below the chin – its sole purpose: to count the number of bites you take.

Chew you food…and we'll play you a song

After 30 bites, it beeps. After 1000 bites, it plays a song ("pleasant melody").

According to the Nitto Kagaku Co, creators of the kami-sensor, the more soft foods (like ramen) children eat, the less likely they are to chew properly, and the more likely to suffer from "sudden gas".
