That soup looks tasty, whatever it is.

Keycaps look cool, but would prefer miniature boobs.

The special Urushi brush is made from the tender hairs of a virgin.  At least that's what the internet says. (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/archive/index.php/t-106527451.html)  Sometimes the internet is wrong.

The color is Fri Zhu.

Yes!

Those brushes are made from human female hair, what I want to know is what kind of quality control those guys have for the virgin part :p

I heard it told that the best sushi is made by men because they have colder hands.
