a non-aryan one: the japanese also have a fun way of shortening words...
they just take the first syllable from every word! you know pokemon? yes,
literally pocket monster! they are so enraptured with american culture of
course that they steal our words...

here is a good question for everyone... why is the super-rare live album
of so-and-so-band always JAPAN only? i have seen so many of these! why not
belgium, or luxembourg, or indonesia? or CANADA, even! i am confused.
