Friday Freakout

A pleasant Friday to all y'all...

Turtles have a lot of upsides as pets, such as being quiet and low-maintenance. Of course, they’re not perfect animal companions. For example, just think of how much fun dog-owners have taking their pooches for a walk. You can’t do that with a turtle, can you?

The origin of the word "Tōji" bears a deep similarity for a Japanese word that translates to "an independent woman."

Men seemed to take over saké production in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
