On a less serious note…
Courtesy of Daze Reader, we have this charming Japanese festival (be sure to check out the pictures, too!):
Kanamara Festival is held every April 15th at Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine in Kawasaki Japan, this is about as wild and pagan as it gets…The festival celebrates the vanquishing of a demon that lived in a woman’s vagina and would bite off the penises of her lovers! According to legend, a local craftsman fashioned a steel phallus which broke the demon’s teeth.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I’m gay.

I knew it was true!

Ah, so that’s what those are for! I’ve seen things like that for sale at shops on Halsted…
