Raining Tadpoles in Japan

As rainy sea­son approaches, Japan’s Ishikawa pre­fec­ture has been receiv­ing some unusual pre­cip­i­ta­tion — it’s been rain­ing tad­poles. Accord­ing to pre­fec­ture offi­cials, tad­poles have report­edly fallen from the sky in two sep­a­rate towns this month. Although it is not unheard of for water­spouts and strong wind to to pull small fish and ani­mals from water and drop them on land, no foul weather has been observed in the area, leav­ing res­i­dents scratch­ing their heads in won­der.
The first reported case of anom­alous tad­pole rain occurred at about 4:30 PM on June 4 in the town of Nanao. After hear­ing a strange sound out­side the Naka­jima Civic Cen­ter, wit­nesses dis­cov­ered approx­i­mately 100 dead tad­poles in a 300 square meter area in and around the park­ing lot. The tad­poles mea­sured 2 to 3 cen­time­ters long.

Alarm Clock Pillow

Hav­ing trou­ble get­ting out of bed in the morn­ing? The Vibrat­ing Alarm Clock Pil­low may be an option for you. Just set the alarm and the pil­low will vibrate, when you want to get up.

As the pil­low looks pretty uncom­fort­able i guess it will keep you awake all night, so you have really no prob­lems to be awake at time.
