I lose my consciousness in the act of getting nuts out of shells and bringing them to my mouth.

I become something between a robot and an enlightened person.

I’d like to play Chopin Etude Op. 10 No.3 on a grand piano at the bottom of the ocean.

Giraffe is a kosher animal.

I imagine that their soft horns taste like chocolate muffins or brownies.

I do not eat giraffes.

There is a Japanese tale about a blind monk who sang and played a japanese banjo. He’d been invited to sing for this large group of people for a while when his boss realized that he was actually singing to a group of ghosts who really liked his concerts. They liked it so much that they decided to take him to the other world. The boss, in an effort to prevent this from happening, wrote spells all over the blind monk’s body, which makes him invisible from the ghosts — except for his ears. Seeing only his ears, the chauffeur ghost says, “alright, I guess I’ll just take these ears back home then.”

I used to feel upset about his boss missing ears. I always thought why forget the ears? But then, it just occured to me that it is just like putting on sunscreen — I, too, forget about my ears.

I, too, love kitkats.

The cuter their eyes are, the more likely the sharks would attack people.

Well, not always but some sharks do have pikachu eyes.

I would add the “Strong Corner Force” to the list of weak forces in the universe. They drink living things just as an almost out of battery vacuum would do.

Someday, I will be remembered as a person to have discovered strong corner force.

Some of the songwriters for children’s songs must have taken advantage of the fact that kids would sing anything merrily and happily.

Pine nuts look similar to some of the roach egg sacks.

A good source of protein.
