Woman eats 399 bowls of noodles in 10 minutes


45-year old Hatsuyo Sugawara won a noodle-eating competition last month, when she downed 399 mini-bowls of noodles in 10 minutes. Each bowl had 10 grams of soba noodles; according to The Japan Times, this means she ate the equivalent of 40 normal-sized noodle bowls. It's actually her third year winning the competition, which is held in the noodle-famous city of Morioka in Iwate Prefecture. Her nickname? "The Witch" — it seems there's still a stigma that women who can do extraordinary things are freaks.

BATTLE ARMOR..

A powered exoskeleton is a powered mobile machine consisting primarily of an exoskeleton-like framework worn by a person and a power supply that supplies at least part of the activation-energy for limb movement.


Powered exoskeletons are designed to assist and protect the wearer. They may be designed, for example, to assist and protect soldiers and construction workers, or to aid the survival of people in other dangerous environments. A wide medical market exists in the future as prosthetics to provide mobility assistance for aged and infirm people. Other possibilities include rescue work, such as in collapsed buildings, in which the device might allow a rescue worker to lift heavy debris, while simultaneously protecting him from falling rubble

A request for a broader reaction to the proposed Ugandan antihomosexual laws generated this response: "The fundamental dignity of every person, our right to be free, and the freedom to make moral choices are gifts endowed by God, our creator. However, it is not my personal calling as a pastor in America to comment or interfere in the political process of other nations." On Meet the , he reiterated this neutral stance in a different context: "As a pastor, my job is to encourage, to support. I never take sides."
