In the Winning Science post this week, I was wondering what awesome things the Japanese knew that the rest of us hadn’t quite figured out yet.  This is NOT what I had in mind.  Even for the Japanese, this one is pretty weird.

I didn’t realize that the Japanese even had emo bands.  Now I feel guilty, they send us nice cars, tvs and video games and in return we send them emo bands.  I think they’re getting the short end of the stick.

I want this yacht that turns into a submarine.  If I saved all my money, I figure I could probably afford this in a couple millennia.

And now, in honor of the release of Man of Steel, here is Superman! (from around of the web, of course)

I understand that everyone gets lucky some at some point, and that some people are more lucky than others, but this is ridiculous.

Last time I put a hole in my wall, all I found was that super itchy pink insulation. Not fair.

While Superman is an important character in the DCU, his other important contribution is as a brand.  I’m sure you’ve seen the sheer volume of Superstuff that has been available lately.

Also, if you’re a Superman fan, you absolutely must listen to Paul Montgomery and Glen Weldon talk about Weldon’s new book Superman: The Unauthorized Biography, its pretty amazing.

According to an artist and a geneticist, in 100,o00 years we make look like this.

Makes you wonder what else Japanese animators have gotten right.

Look, all I’m saying is that it could be pretty fun…

La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha…

All kidding aside though, the ideas these guys are working on and the people they are hoping to inspire may just change the world. Controlling roaches is like something out of a spy movie, but the fact that it may help us cure diseases that affect millions is way cooler.
