Man, you find you find all sorts of odd things online.

Exploding piggy-bank aims to scare Japanese into saving

TOKYO (AFP) - Greying Japan has a new weapon to scare people into saving for their retirement -- an exploding piggy bank.

The "Savings Bomb," which goes on sale in Japan next week, "explodes" and scatters coins if users fail to save for a long time, toy manufacturer TOMY Co Ltd said Thursday.

The battery-powered toy -- designed as a cartoon-style, ball-shaped black bomb with a skull and crossbones logo -- lights up, makes a noise, shakes violently and scatters coins if it is not topped up for a long time.

"Users must pick up and collect the scattered coins and reflect on their laziness," the Japanese company said.

Japan has the world's oldest population and one of the lowest birthrates, raising fears of a future demographic crisis with a smaller pool of workers financially supporting a growing number of elderly.

Would be a fun gift, just don't tell them it explodes.

Dance it up now.

For those that know me, I ever in search of new music to expand my musical horizons. I will listen to nearly every genre of music and find a lot of music I can appreciate (save for country and polka.) Today we'll explore a few tracks that I feel can really energize and pump you up. Unfortunately YouTube being YouTube, the video quality is poor, so try listening to these tracks first, maybe even with your eyes closed to really feel the music.

Paul van Dyk feat Jessica Sutta - White lies



Video is decent, featuring former Pussy Cat Dolls singer Jessica Sutta. Goofs include PVD 'throwing' Jessica his hat at the end, but shots throughout have her wearing it. Of all of Paul van Dyk's material I've heard, I may have to say I like this song the best. Poppy? Maybe. PVD brings his organic sounds and alternation of rhythm together beautifully.


Artist: STUNT Song: RAINDROPS

Hold my hand lets chase the sun
we both know something's begun
Nothing feels that real without you
Wanna learn so much about you



What happened to these guys? I can't seem to find much more information on this group, nor the featured singer Molly Smithen-Downes. This came out Jan 2006. More please?
