Dante Vs. Nature 53

Stay away from our women! Sorry. Reflex. There is an 18 year old gorilla in Japan that people are saying women are going crazy over and that makes me feel uncomfortable. I guess this is what it must feel like when ladies go nuts over the idea of men being attracted to robot women. This gorilla is named Shabani and he lives in the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya. You might as well say Mars. That entire sentence was word salad to me.

They say that there are always over one hundred people shouting at the gorilla to get a picture of him. If you can't get to the zoo he also has a Twitter account that I assure you is far more interesting than mine. Born in Australia, moved to the Netherlands, and now residing in Japan he has traveled further than I ever will in my life.

Wanna Date A Happening Girl?

I saw this article about this Japanese group that was created for a reality show called Happening Girls. These chicks are planning to date and/or marry a fan. You just have to be between the ages of 17 and 30 as well as live in Tokyo to join the group and be cool with wearing bikinis in public. The guy that runs the show, Teruki Aoki, said “We are positively encouraging our fans to meet and date the girls. How they get on and how far they go is up to them. But they're contracted to let us into their private life and share in their relationship.” I've tried to find some of their music and there is none yet. The girls at the moment are 20 year old Manaka, 22 year old Saaya, 26 year old Kaori, and 25 year old Eri. I'm not sure who is who, but that girl third from the left is likely getting the least amount of action. The one all the way to the right? Thumbs up.  

Rosscast Episode 58: The Funkbot

In this episode I once again answer listener questions. They range from whether or not I would be a godfather to a friends' kid, what I would do if one of my friends changed sex, and should funky folks go to jail. Click this link to download this and older episodes. Enjoy!
