Interesting Facts

A humanoid robot has conducted a wedding ceremony in Tokyo. (The happy couple Tomohiro and Satoko Shibata had their ceremony in a rooftop garden restaurant in Tokyo's Hibiya area, where The four-foot tall wedding-machine, called the i-Fairy, officiated. The robot was built by Kokoro, a subsidiary of Sanrio, the company that created that cute cat Hello Kitty. It's all very clever guys, but I'm still waiting for a robot that will do the housework for me.)

In Tokyo, a bicycle is faster than a car for most trips of less than 50 minutes! (I have never been to Tokyo, or Japan for that matter, but I am assured that this is true, due to the density of the population. I will have to check it out for myself one day and include it on my travel itinerary.)
