It's official: The Japanese Rock
"No duh!" you say to me. Well, this is just m ore undeniable proof.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Japan (home of Metal Gear Solid, a game series based on sneaking around and doing stuff) has finally created an invisibility suit. It's not perfect, but it's a little glimmer of hope in a world populated by people like my brother and the current Commander-in-Chief. Of course, such knowledge instantly creates a "HOLY CRAP JAPANESE INVISIBILITY SUIT" reaction from myself. Big mistake. You see, I informed my grandmother (jingoistic , hardcore Christian zealot) of this recent technological development. Her reply?

*gasps* "That means they can invade us again!" When I inform her that Japan has almost no military, she replies again.

"Who knows? They've probably been building up this whole time and hiding it from us!" She then proceeded to go on a "Japan's going to invade again, you're wrong Josh!" rant, and then gave me a (not so) brief history of life in WWII.

Why did I expect her to be thoroughly intrigued by the creation of a working invisibility device? I shouldn't have, considering that she also went on a similar "Japan is rearming and ready to invade" rant when I showed her a picture of a recently-invented life-saving robot. The thing has jaws-of-life for hands, and is used to help clear debris and stuff like that. Of course, it's actually a walking death machine capable of killing thousands...

Anyways, the Japanese are also making improvements upon the Zeppelin.
Which makes a great deal of sense, considering the amount of anime that has Zeppelins in it, as do much of the Final Fantasy games.

Speaking of Final Fantasy, I was watching ScreenSavers on G4TechTV a few days ago, and saw a clip for Final Fantasy XII. Instant fappery and visual gratification. The best graphics in a FF so far, and here's the kicker: The story takes place... in Ivalice! Yes, Tactics Advanced fans. The very same Ivalice, or so it seems.

Well, enough from me. I'd best relinquish my ninja death-grip on your attention and let you get back to your regularly-scheduled programming.
