in an apparent chemistry experiment gone awesome, a 14 year old girl managed to not only to give herself considerable trouble breathing, but forced an evacuation of her apartment complex. according to police this is only an isolated incident in a series of similar experimentation through out the nation. driven to recreating this inspiring chemical reaction by educational websites around the world, many japanese both young and old are racing to combine household cleaning products in order to artificially create the chemical responsible for odiferous flattus.
when reached for comment about how and why so many people around japan would be performing their own trails with household cleaning chemicals when the results, in addition to being well known, are also so stinky; the head of a tokyo based group specializing in this field gave this observation…
“It’s easy, and everyone can do it,”
finally a family friendly way to introduce the children to the wonders of science through empirical observation of molecule creation. think of how little taro’s eyes will light up when you tell him you’re going to show him how to create a smell like a bad fart in an enclosed space. that rebellious and angsty girl airi will finally find something she could do when she is alone. your spouse could learn a good prank to pull next time you forget your anniversary. why not just surprise everybody and do it yourself? it just takes one’s breath away when considering all the people that could benefit from testing this home school biochemical reaction.
just remember for the sake of your neighbors, please put up a notice like the one listed in the article. it is always good to let the people living around you know that might not want to partake in your pursuit of knowledge that they may need to keep a wide berth. sort of like a mythbuster’s “science content” warning.
Here is a little some for you to be thinking about the next time you are settling into a public lavatory in Japan.
A municipal employee in Chiba Prefecture has been arrested for hiding wireless cameras in various public toilets over the past two or three years.

japundits, as human beings, symbiotic fish, and the transcendent beings known as /4/chans, we must all, to truly live, at some point in our lives be dedicated to a higher purpose. whilst scanning the internet i came upon a website, which along with the recent spat with fg inspired me.
now go forth…and conquer

Japan justice minister, Kunio Hatoyama on why Japan does not need to reconsider its death penalty as is being done in the European Union and other areas.
As the Japanese place so much importance on the value of life, it is thought that one should pay with one’s own life for taking the life of another. You see, the Western nations are civilizations based on power and war. So, conversely, things are moving against the death penalty. This is an important point to understand. The so-called civilizations of power and war are the opposite of us. From incipient stages, their conception of the value of life is weaker than the Japanese. Therefore, they are moving toward abolition of the death penalty.
It is important that this discourse on civilizations be understood.

Ex-comedian and Miyazaki Prefecture governor Hideo Higashikokubaru has declared that he is for instituting a national draft in Japan.
“There should be a conscription system,” Higashikokubaru was quoted as saying in a round-table talk with 12 local construction company owners on Wednesday. “It’s a good idea for young people to be drafted into the SDF for a year or two.”
Following the meeting, the comedian-turned governor admitted that he made the remarks as his personal view. “I believe it’s important to train young people at an institution where discipline is valued. A lack of ethics and morality has led to the loss of discipline.”
There was no work as to whether Higashikokubaru was speaking as governor or as a comedian.
