Prepare to be amazed: Janine Sugawara recently discovered that Cap’n Crunch Crunchberries are not real berries.

U.S. District Court Judge Morrison England Jr. dismissed Sugawara’s lawsuit:

” . . . a reasonable consumer would not be deceived into believing that the Product in the instant case contained a fruit that does not exist . . . So far as this Court has been made aware, there is no such fruit growing in the wild or occurring naturally in any part of the world. “

Other Potential Lawsuits for Janine Sugawara:
• Hot Dogs (rarely contain dog)
• Donkey Punch (not a beverage)
• Chicken Fingers (fingers: yes / chicken: no)
• Cap’n Crunch (not an actual naval officer)
• Baby Oil (only Mexican brands contain baby)
• Frankenberries (no relationship to Al Franken)
• Marion Berry (a controlled substance, but not a berry)
• Dick Van Dyke (heterosexual)

“Hanako of the Toilet” has been a Japanese ghost story for at least 60 years – she is a phantom schoolgirl who inhabits the 3rd floor girls’ bathroom in public schools in urban Japan. She haunts the second toilet stall (from the left) and is often described as wearing a schoolgirl’s uniform or a red skirt and having bobbed hair.

Children dare one another to enter the second toilet stall (or a stall right next to it) and to knock or call out to Hanako three times. She will respond by whispering “yessss,” and some say that she will then appear in the toilet stall or even try to strangle the summoner.

The back story about the death of Hanako varies from region to region: hiding in the bathroom during an air raid (during WWII), being trapped or murdered in the bathroom when school was out of session, being killed by bullies at school, or being killed by an abusive parent.

An excerpt from the Google translation of the Japanese Wikipedia page about Hanako:

“I do not even hate the color of the White in milk, like the color system of red and blue, belonging to the school in table tennis, hay fever have information such as.”

After 250,000 miles (400,000 km), most cars are on the brink of death.

Irv Gordon has passed this limit ten times over:
Irv has clocked 2,600,000 miles on his 1966 Volvo 1800S.

This is the equivalent of driving to the Moon . . . ten times.
