Japanese suckers born nearly every other minute

A survey was conducted across 50 countries, asking the question “Do you believe in UFO’s?”. Coming in at number two is Japan. A total of 45.3% of the Japanese people polled replied that they did in fact believe in alien sightings, placing Japan below only Brazil and Mexico.

In a country that still values the presence of spirits and the supernatural, this isn’t quite that shocking. You don’t often see many programs on TV discussing the existence of extraterrestrials but apparently that doesn’t mean a whole lot.

So, what can we gather from this report? The Fortean Times probably isn’t (but may possibly) a magazine originating from the United States, but from Brazil, Mexico or Japan.

Jungle love

Valentine’s Day was yesterday. Did you do something special with your significant other? (If you read this, odds are you didn’t.) Whatever your plans were last night, they were not as good as those lucky couples who took the Love Tour at the Minnesota Zoo yesterday.

For just $175 per couple, they got to have a romantic dinner, then tour the zoo, learning about the mating habits of all of the creatures that live there, and we all know how much two tigers having sex turns on the ladies. They also got an unspecified keepsake. Whatever it was, hopefully it wasn’t from inside the cages.
