Armadillos can actually be housebroken.

Great, I’ll get a pet armadillo to join my anteater. He gets lonely a lot of times.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!:D Don’t get too cheesy and corny now.:P

San Francisco’s mock Court of Historical Review had a hearing on the origin of the fortune cookie. The challengers? Makoto Hagiwara of Golden Gate Park’s Japanese Tea Garden who created it as a Japanese dessert, and David Jung, founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company in 1918. During the proceedings, a fortune cookie was introduced as a key piece of evidence with a message reading, “S.F. Judge who rules for L.A. Not Very Smart Cookie”. A federal judge of the Court of Historical Review determined that the cookie originated with Hagiwara and the court ruled in favor of San Francisco. Subsequently, the city of Los Angeles condemned the decision.

Believe it or not, toupees are actually being sold in Tokyo for your dogs.

Great. As if they need even more hair.

One day, The Dragon King’s was suffering from terrible back pain and it was more than he could endure.

In the dragon palace there was no medicine that could cure the back pain.

The Dragon King decided to disguise himself as an old man to seek medical help.

When the doctor felt the pulse of the old man he sensed something really strange and said: “You are not the human!”

The Dragon King’s look of dismay could not conceal the truth.

He told the doctor the truth and the reason for his visit.

Thereupon the doctor asked him to change into his true form. The doctor seized a centipede from the scales around the waist of the Dragon King.

After the poison had been extracted from the Dragon King‘s waist, the doctor applied ointment.

The Dragon King was restored to full health.

In order to thank the gracious Doctor for his treatment. The Dragon King said to the doctor that, “Good crops will come, so long as a dragon dance according to my appearance is played.

The story spread among the people, then every Spring the dragon dance was played to pray for rain to produce good crops.

I doubt that it’s true, but it’s a cool story behind a great tradition.:D I love tales, and this one’s new to me, so it’s a fun piece of information to know.

Happy Chinese New Year!
