“What! Don’t you know Keepon?”　This conversation made us decide to post this video. (Mr.Takeshita)


We had a Shanti Phula staff meeting the other day.  There was a conversation among the staff: “What? Don’t you know Keepon?”  Then we have decided to post this video.

Keepon dancing to Spoon’s “Don’t You Evah?”

Keepon is too cute to stop me from falling in love with him.
An American rock band “Spoon” from Austin, Texas, produced a music video in collaboration with a stuffed toy “Keepon.”  They say that a costar is Mr. Hideki Kojima, the inventor of Keepon.

Pictures taken 80 years ago produce turbulent responses on the Web – “Disney used to be a scary place”


It seems that this is not Disney Land.  Seeing the first picture from slightly changed camera angle, we might have an impression that there is an altar for Moloch worship.  This is a picture which stirs such imagination.

Pictures taken 80 years ago produce turbulent responses on the Web – “Disney used to be a scary place”



Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse …!?
Apparently, there is something different!
And apparently scary!
Such souvenir picture was surely poplar at that time, I suppose.
It is because the boy looks so happy.  Oh, not so happy? (I’m unsure about it.)

---------- 
I don’t even want to know why that boy is on his knees.

 Why is Mickey wearing heels?

  Looks like a random note, proof of live.

  What kid wears a tie to Disney Land/World?

  “On your knees boy!”

  Someone should color this!

  The scary part is that this picture IS colorized.

  Anyone else notice Mickey seems a lot more feminine that Minnie?
  Clearly 1930s, clearly not Disneyland.
(The first Disneyland in California was opened in 1955.)

 The 1930 s Mickey Mouse Club characters.

 These other costumes of Mickey and Minnie Mouse from the 1930s are a bit creepier.



  My God.  They look like something from a horror movie.
----------

These pictures will make children today cry.
I want to ask for feedback from children of that time.

[Raba Q] Scenes never seen in Japan – Trams in Kolkata, India vividly filmed as if you were there (Video)


This is a video, what shall I say, I was really drawn into.
After viewing the video, my wife Yasuko seemed to be perfectly healed.
She said, “The mess in our house is no big deal compared to this.”

[Mr. Masatoshi Takeshita] I’ve found pretty witty picture. I’d like to introduce some of them to you.


There are quite witty pictures.  I’d like to introduce the pictures to you.
The third picture indicates the true nature of Obama.  I suspect that many Americans also have found out the true personality of Obama.  I’ve found this kind of stuff.  Comparing it with the causal body of Obama, which I introduced in a series of abyssal fishes, I think the two are basically the same.

 [Image] Relationship between “the poor” and “the rich”

There is a big difference in efficiency.  The more east preys there are, the wider the gap is.


Carefully seeing it, that is pretty impossible.  But the idea itself is too wonderful.



The producer of a miniseries of U.S. history channel says “It’s nonsense,” but you never can tell.

This baby hamster is leading a life of hardships, isn’t he? (Video)

There is a proverb that says “Lions kick their children down into the abyss of a ravine.”  It appears that Spartan education exists in the world of hamsters, too.

Please enjoy the video picture of a baby hamster that is learning a strict life.

Terrific!
I think “attractming,” (attractive and charming) a composite word I made, is the right word for this frog.

Squee!  This is so cute.  Puffy Desert Rain Frog Emits Toy-Like Sound

From a puffy body he emits a cute yelp like a toy producing sound by a push.  This is something we want to get it at any cost like Pokemon.  Video picture of Namaqua rain frog native to South Africa has been released.

First, let’s look at an adorable body, listening to his call.
Reportedly, the frog was filmed in the sandy dunes along Port Nolloth in the Northern Cape province, South Africa.

My son was searching for an image of Budgett’s frog.  As I heard mother and child (my wife and son) burst out laughing, I peeked from behind.  There I saw many images of the frog; they have elegance of prince and attractive and charming figures.   In a word, it is called “attractming” (a compound word I have made).

[Kirimichihou] Capybaras Gracefully Soak in Hot Spa While Enjoying Snow Scene

An ordinary person is always thinking of something in his head.  It is called habitual thinking.
When a person says “oh, this is heaven” while soaking in a hot spa, his habitual thinking, or mind chatter gets to slightly quiet down.  Then, what will happen if such thinking completely disappears from the head?
The answer is the state these capybaras are in, namely, samadhi or the state of total bliss.
Meditation is practiced to keep this state of mind immovable.

Not Snow Ball Either Yukimi Daifuku (Snow Viewing Rice Cake)!  Image of Ball-Like Arctic Hare Camouflaging Snow (with video)

Group of arctic hare like snow balls


 The arctic hare has long back paws and runs fast.  They can run up to 60 kilometers per hour.  In the winter, they wear a white shining coat of fur, which displays excellent mimicry effect on ice and snow.  They change their coat color from white in the spring to bluish gray, similar in color to rocks or plants in their habitat, in the winter.
