Japanese armor was only worn by the shogun, highest military class, samurai and emperors. Japanese samurai armor and samurai swords are both powerful, unique works of art made by skilled craftsmen. Each suit of Japanese armor (Kikou), Japanese Helmet (Kabuto) and Japanese Sword (Katana) has a soul or chi as well as a personality all of its own. These stunning works of Japanese art were (and still are) made by hand.

Today paper replicas of Japanese armor are made as a hobby. In addition, real armor is made for display in museums, restaurants, etc.

The armor worn by the samurai over the centuries was incredibly varied yet throughout the samurai age the principles of the armor remained largely the same save for a few subtle changes. The suit consisted of a kabuto (helmet) for the head; a do (cuirass) for the torso; a pair of sode (shoulder guards); one or two kote (armored sleeves) for the arms; a kusazuri (armored skirt or apron) to protect the upper thighs; and a pair of suneate (shin guards.) Haidate (thigh guards) were added in around the 14th century and by the 16th the mempo (face mask) was brought in. (Read the article)

Beside sushi-grade fish (we will get to this later), you will need the following ingredients to roll sushi:

* short-grained rice, preferably Cal-Rose (do not substitute instant rice, converted rice, or brown rice)
* nori, toasted seaweed sheets
* wasabi, Japanese horseradish mustard, comes in cans of powder (add water) or in tubes
* gari or shoga, sliced ginger, a condiment used to reset the taste buds (also aid in digestion)
* shredded daikon radish (optional)
* su or awaze-zu, sushi vinegar (used in rice preparation)
* imitation crab, for California rolls, pieces will also work if you can’t find the sticks
* kappa, cucumber
* avocado, make sure they are ripe, it’s easier to peel
* sakura denbu, seasoned shredded cod fish (pink powder)
* hari hari zuke, pickled vegetable mix (yellow)
* ao shiso no mi, prepared beefsteak plant seeds (green)
* shiso sakura, pickled radish and ginger with beefsteak plant (pink)

This techno backed video will no doubt get you lusting for a Manoi PF01, if you aren’t dieing for one already.

Manoi is built on the Kondo KHR-1 engine. This means that it has the same physical abilities such as: standing up after a fall, standing on one foot etc.. However, Manoi PF01 is much more than the Kondo KHR-1. The robot movements are surprisingly lifelike and fluid.

This is a hilarious video of an Indian midget named Rajnikanth that dances to a boom box around his lazy relatives. It’s from some random Tamil movie. Momma does not approve for some unknown reason. No fun allowed, suckas!

Two midgets battle for the love of a female dwarf on Springer. The smaller one rolls around like a salmon (and gets pwned). The shirts come up like some cheesy 80s bare knuckle flick! Enjoy this gem of a video!

Two extremely athletic midget dancers battle it out in the ring. There are some really impressive break dancing moves in this funny video.

Overall the guy in the black pants dominates.
