In Asian countries, working on an airplane is considered a highly skilled occupation.  Aside from the usual flying skills and regulations, both pilots and staff also need knowledge of another language (particularly English).  On top of that, physical limitations like height and vision make for a rather shallow pool of candidates.

In China, a country often given a bad rap for lax regulations, the restrictions are even tighter as having smelly underarms is grounds for expulsion from becoming a pilot.

The photos above and below are of a screening session held in Shanxi province for hopeful pilots looking to join Hainan Airlines or China Eastern Airlines.  Since the standards are set by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the screening for each airline can be done together.

During this particular November 3 session, applicants had to be tested on their vision, English, and body odor (BO).  The CAACBO exam is rather low-tech. The examinee simply raises their arms while the licensed examiner wafts the air around it towards them.  They may also stick their nose right in there if need be.

For the 90 applicants, failure to pass the CAACBO test is just as severe as not knowing a lick of English or being blind as a bat. You do not pass go, you do not collect a commercial pilot’s license.

The benefits of having non-smelly pilots are obvious, but perhaps this test is also a roundabout way to test nerves and keeping cool under pressure. The other exams can be intense, so if you walk out of them smelling like a rose, you’re the right man for the job.

Scientists must often have a hard time explaining deep scientific concepts to the general public without resorting to a lot of wild gesticulating and exasperated sighs. We know we’d get around five minutes into a college physics lecture before giving up and drawing cat doodles in our notebooks for the remaining hour of class.

It’s no wonder, then, that Japan’s RIKEN national comprehensive research institution resorted to making this totally awesome anime to enthrall and amaze our stupid civilian minds with flashing lights and hot robot girls, so we’d sit still long enough for the institute to introduce its new and totally sci-fi sounding SPring-8 Angstrom Compact Free Electron Laser (SACLA).

Yes, that is the name of something that exists in our actual world, not Star Wars fan fiction or the Matrix.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G64-xD-mnw&w=560&h=315]

Explaining what it is and does, on the other hand, requires mighty brainy feats that we simply cannot muster, so,we’ll just quote RIKEN’s homepage:

“SACLA is the most compact X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility in the world, and is also now the only XFEL operating below 1 Å wavelength.”

Sounds great, right?

The super-stylish, retro-inspired anime doesn’t really explain much about the SACLA itself, but here’s hoping the anime – which is just a mock theme song for now – will inspire more people to go into science and research fields. You know, like how CSI inspired everyone to want to become forensic investigators until CSI: Suburban Wyoming or whatever sort of broke the spell.

There’s been a lot of talk about the benefits of converting to an insect-heavy diet recently. Cashing in on this trend is Café & Bar Ristorante Absente in Kinshicho, Tokyo who will begin offering Peperoncino de Locust which is a plate of spaghetti topped with generous piles of locusts.

In their press release, restaurant owner Pasta Dio would like to remind everyone that locusts are an excellent source of calcium, protein, and vitamin A and were used in Japan during times of war to fight malnutrition and save lives. They even claim that once you get past the initial heebie-jeebies, locusts actually have an addictive texture that makes you come back for more.

They also mention that the dish, which goes on sale from 29 May, is a whole new take on spaghetti all’aglio, olio e pepperoncino with a garlic and olive oil sauce so good you can drink it from the dish. All this can be yours for 1,200 yen (US$12).

Absente is no stranger to creative dishes. Their menu also boasts Pasta Gyoza, 10,000 Fish Pasta (contains a day’s worth of calcium), Pasta Cocktail (pasta topped with absinthe) and the hugely popular Carbonara Angel which is topped with a mountain of five different cheeses.

Anyone looking to take the plunge into the world of food with thoraxes would do well to start with the classy preparation of Peperoncino de Locust. Do let us know how your experience turns out.

Ever felt like you just really needed to be a dragon for a day or two? Maybe wish you could look the part when on a rampage at the office or in your school quad? Calgary Cosplay is here to help with their newly-released dragon suit specially designed to make your dreams a reality!

Sold on their online webshop , these incredibly detailed outfits come complete with scales, wings, and hood. The claws at the ends of the sleeves are detachable, as is the Velcro tail. They’re only available in a medium size, but you get your choice of the black, more mature color scheme or the fun and freewheeling rainbow version. As these hoodies are handcrafted, the price is a bit steep at CA$399.99 (that’s about US$387.00), though depending on how badly you need to be a dragon, it may well be worth it.

Sadly, though Japan is the place to go for some of the weirdest styles to grace public streets, this hoodie may still be a bit too outlandish to become the next biggest trend on the crosswalks of Shibuya. However, one train stop away in Harajuku might be right up your fire-breathing alley.

Dragonhide is not the only cool vestment this creative company pedals! Check out a few of their other fashionable accessories:

▼The Nyan Cat Scarf is a great addition for when you’re feeling lolzy.

▼Or for your fabulous days, you could wear your Unicorn Hoodie instead!

▼And their new Panda Hoodie is just about the cutest thing out there, especially the paw mittens.

What would modern life be like without the humble toilet? Actually, we’d rather not think about that.

Many of us around the world should direct our thanks to TOTO Ltd., the world’s largest manufacturer of toilets and the very company that invented the washlet. In fact,Friday, August 28 marked the grand opening of the new TOTO Museum in Fukuoka Prefecture, where the company was originally founded in 1917.

Takashi Harada, our Japanese reporter who proclaims that he couldn’t survive a day without a washlet, immediately made a bee line to the new sanctuary to give thanks to the toilet gods and to learn a bit about the historical evolution of the toilet.

■ A new museum in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture

The TOTO Museum opened its doors on the premises of TOTO’s headquarters in Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City, in anticipation of the company’s 100th anniversary in 2017. The smooth, round, porcelain-white museum exterior is reminiscent of a clean bathroom. This sight only made Harada feel more excited about what amazing knowledge he was about to learn upon entering.

▼ The entrance to the TOTO Museum

▼ The stylish and spacious interior

Inside, the museum houses a variety of products historically significant to the company, and Harada was surprised to learn that TOTO actually produced tableware until operations were suspended in 1970. Many people don’t know this tidbit about the company’s history since today it’s so firmly equated with the toilet business.

■ The history of home appliances which use plumbing

TOTO has now spent nearly a century making quality products indispensable to our daily lives. The museum showcases the various manufacturing ideas of successive generations of passionate company presidents, and you can learn a lot from the displays about the company’s role in the history of household appliances making use of plumbing. The museum’s space is fully utilized and organized in an easy-to-understand way which shows how toilets have changed with the times.

Out of all of the products, Harada was most fascinated by the toilets equipped with integrated washlets. From learning about the days before effective drainage systems were put in place to the days of toilets with button-control panels, you can’t help but be impressed by the development of modern technology. Perhaps elderly visitors will feel a twinge of nostalgia upon seeing the older models.

Let’s take a stroll through Harada’s pictures to see some of the neat products on exhibit at the museum!

▼ An inscription about the history of TOTO

▼ A TOTO bike

▼ You can check each individual part within this semi-transparent toilet.

▼ Historical company presidents and their inspirational quotes

▼ People use toilets every day without a second thought, but few realize how one is constructed.

▼ Decades of toilets

▼ Various designs of urinals

▼ Of course, there’s more than just toilets.

▼ TOTO is now a globalized company. Here are some products being sold in China…

▼ Asia Oceania…

▼ Europe…

▼ …and in the Americas. It’s interesting how the shapes of the products vary from country to country.

▼ TOTO’s official Certificate of Mechanical Engineering Heritage for Washlet G (Toilet Seat with Shower Unit). Washlets everywhere, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

■ The first unit bath implemented in Japan is also on display

From start to finish, toilet lovers won’t be disappointed by their time in the museum, and they shouldn’t forget to check out the unit bathroom as well. Nowadays, it’s completely normal for hotels and studio apartments to come equipped with unit baths, and you can track their evolution over the past 50 years with one interesting exhibit.

Of special significance on display is Japan’s first unit bathroom which was created for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. It was relocated from the Hotel New Otani in Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward and is a definite must-see at the museum.

■ An unusual learning experience

The museum’s grand opening appeared to be a major success, despite being on a weekday, as there was a steady stream of visitors throughout the entire day. The museum is anticipating an estimated 20,000 yearly, and up to 85,000 for all the facilities and company headquarters combined.

TOTO’s products have had an undeniable impact on our modern lives. Why not learn about the history of your own bathroom by stopping by the TOTO Museum the next time you’re in Kitakyushu?
