Japan: Minty Footwear & Loch Ness Monster
In the hopes of abolishing the smelly shoes and feet in Japan a Japanese shoe maker has developed a sponge that fits in a shoe and is imbued with mint at the heel, allowing the wearer to pump mint fumes in the shoe every time he or she walks. This is quite convenient as Japanese always takes off there shoes in entering houses or even restaurant.
The amazing rendition on the Loch Ness monster was obviously made to honor Nessie, the gigantic creature is believed to have originated from the prehistoric era. It all started when John McKay reported seeing a gigantic sea creature reminiscent of a dinosaur in Loch Ness in Scotland. Thereafter, dozens of references to earlier sightings of the alleged monster hadn‘t been made, but McKay‘s is the earliest for which there is a contemporary record. Left out of nearly every story about Nessie, though, is the fact that the lake is only about 20 miles square, and anything as big as the Loch Ness monster supposedly is would probably have to eat so much that it would empty the lake of nutrition every couple days.
