Rant 852 / TOOONA



Rent: US$3000 per sq ft per month









Some guy placed a tiny camera between his back teeth and this is what he got.

Looks like Natural Selection IRL.












For Singaporeans only:

Pledge to go car-free on the 22nd of September and get a free NETS FlashPay card with $3 stored value.

I don't know if it's a scam since I haven't received the card, though I find it unlikely because the website's legit.












Saw some Xenoblade Chronicles being stream today.

Makes me want to get a Wii just for it.

Maybe in the future.












Nothing can stop Capitalism! Not even death!


Teramura, 71, decided a decade ago to widen his business beyond graves to funerals and he opened Lastel last year.

Behind its flower box framed windows, hidden away from mourners, is an automated storage system. It stores and chills encoffined corpses, delivering them through hatches and into a viewing room, day or night, whenever friends and family come to pay their respects.

Not that I blame them, but it's just pretty morbid. This idea of a hotel for the dead only works when you have a situation like the one in Japan where the crematoriums simply can't handle the number of people dying.

Also,

Annual deaths are expected to peak at 1.66 million in 2040 as the bulk of the nation's baby boomer generation expires. By then, Japan's population will have shrunk by around 20 million people, an unprecedented die off for a nation neither at war or blighted by famine.

Smells like opportunity to me. Major changes like this always create millionaires out of people who can spot the emerging opportunities first.

On the other hand, 2040 is still about 30 years from now.
