POOP SUITCASE

Russian President Putin’s bodyguards collect his waste, including feces, in special bags and transport it back to Moscow in dedicated suitcases during foreign trips, including his recent Alaska meeting with Trump.

This security measure, practiced since 1999, prevents foreign powers from analyzing his biological samples for health information.

The protocol was first reported during Putin’s 2017 France visit and confirmed during his 2018 Vienna trip.

Putin’s health has faced scrutiny due to public appearances showing leg jerking and twitching, plus claims about body doubles, though the Kremlin dismisses all health-related rumors.

糞便行李箱 俄羅斯總統普丁的保鑣會在他出訪期間，包括最近在阿拉斯加與川普的會面，用特製的袋子收集他的排泄物，包括糞便，然後用專用行李箱運回莫斯科。 這項自1999年以來實施的安全措施，旨在防止外國勢力分析他的生物樣本以獲取健康資訊。 這項措施最早在普丁2017年訪問法國期間被報道，並在2018年訪問維也納期間得到證實。 普丁的健康狀況因公開露面時腿部抽搐和抽搐，以及有關「替身」的說法而備受關注，儘管克里姆林宮否認了所有與健康相關的謠言。

Statements From Netanyahu and Hamas Narrow Hopes for a Truce in Gaza

Hopes of a cease-fire in Gaza ebbed after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Hamas both issued statements that narrowed the chances of compromise.

Toilet creations aren't new to China. The ancient Chinese may have been the first to use the throne — a flush toilet was found in a tomb of a Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C. to A.D. 24) king — and they invented toilet paper in the 6th century. Modern Toilet owner Wang Zi-wei, 29, an ex-banker, got his idea from the Japanese robot cartoon character Jichiwawa, who loves to play with poop and swirl it on a stick. Inspired by that image, Wang began selling chocolate ice cream swirls on paper squat toilets. Customers loved them and wanted more edible excretion experiences, so he opened Modern Toilet in 2004. The theme-restaurant chain now has seven outlets in Taiwan, one in Hong Kong and one opening in Shenzhen, China, this week. Plans for other cities in China, Macau, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are also under way. Dinner à la latrine, anyone? Edible Excretions: Taiwan's Toilet Restaurant


There are many amusing anecdotes about eels in Japan, perhaps because the dish has been prized by gourmets since the Edo Period (1603-1867). Take, for example, the one about the eel and the octopus that find a long and narrow leather bag used to sheath a sword. The octopus tells the eel it wants to use it as long johns.
The eel tries to keep it for itself, telling the octopus, "It's no use to wear long johns on only one of your eight legs." The octopus asks: "Then what do you want it for?" The eel replies: "To wear it as a fire jacket when I'm broiled."
