In this week's Religion Corner, we take a look at an animal that has found "everlasting life."

In Vietnam, the government came up with some rather outlandish restrictions on who can drive motorscooters, but after being ridiculed by bloggers, took it all back.

Our Dick of the Week is a woman who let politics screw up Halloween for a bunch of kids. Meet her in the video below.



Our friend Gomyo has plugged us into the local Okayama music scene, and we feature some of it tonight. We end the show with Kokorogamae by Youth, from their Flowering CD. The YouTube music video of the song is below.

    You have a real GREAT (or should I say big?) dick of the week! It seems, that elections in the US show up how many wired people are living there. Could you seriously vote the republicans if you are not getting something directly out of it - like money. It is not even hidden how strange and out of the world they are. They put up complete idiots for president and nearly half of the people vote them (and the other half tear down when strange things happen in the elections). Now they had a guy who seems to my like a rambo on rage and a women with as much brain as a Barbie doll (and less good looking). What is this, that republicans are not ashamed to put up such candidates and not ashamed to support them. Anyway, it seems it is getting better in the US, but to be honest I'm still not sure what will be next. A German comedian had an interesting joke in the radio: All big people in the US who where killed had something in common: Abe Lincoln was good in speech and carried the hope of the nation, JFK was young and carried the hope of the nation, Martin Luther King was black and carried the hope of the nation... Barack Obama is good in speech, young an black and carries the hope of the nation... I hope he is better protected against, crazy republicans, the powerful lobby behind the republicans and the CIA. Good luck!
