A nice day for Ice Cream, weather index

I sent this page "Finally we got survival suit", and all my guy friends replied "I will buy". But an American friend told me "it's a joke." Really...I thought something was funny at this ball taking a cheap shot at a deer, but I took it seriously. How can you tell it is joke? They wrote on the site? Some Japanese site linked the page, but I think nobody couldn't tell it was a joke. Well I wonder if I should send a mail to my friends "it was joke". But the suit hitted the point of guys, and they really loved that. :-( ahhh.

Unfortunately nothing fun to write today, I am sleepy because of the World Cup. By the way, it is a hot day today. I checked the weather news on Yahoo, they said "We have a Manatsu-bi(Summer Day) Today in Tokyo". It means it's over 30 degree today. I wish I could wash at home, it is a precious dry day in this humid rainy season in Japan. I found Yahoo Japan has many indexes. I know a laundry index, Umbrella index (it will be same as chance-of-rain forecast), starry sky index and ultraviolet index. Then during the summer season, they show Beer Index(how good for drinking beer), Ice cream index(which nice day to eat Ice cream), Swet index, and heat exhaustion index. I checked U.S. Yahoo then I found they seem to have only Pollen Levels and Local Mosquito Levels (this is funny though). Then I checked Google and I found Google does not have thier own weather report. Only I did not know that??

The icon of Beer index is "Asahi Super Dry". My American friends say it is the best beer. Japanese Beer official site release summer version TV ads: Yebisu, Kirin, Suntry.

Indeed, Halliburton is an extremely serious company. The current Vice President of the U.S., Dick Cheney, is a former Halliburton CEO. Halliburton has received multiple no-bid government contracts for the rebuilding of Iraq, which of course has nothing to do with Mr. Cheney or the "deferred compensation" he received from Halliburton during his first term in the Vice Presidency.

But perhaps the biggest clue to the joke is that the suits look like a silly mascot character. U.S. soldiers in Iraq have already complained that new bomb protection equipment makes them look silly. I'm fairly certain they would refuse to wear anything like this.

Also silly was the diagram, which includes missiles and a "food reprocessor." The picture suggests that food would be reprocessed from human waste products, which is not a technology I would trust.

We can understand it is a joke, because "Halliburton" is a very serious company. They would not have such a funny website! That is just like Mitsubishi or Mitsui in Japan. I love such spoof websites!
