    I tried not to laugh, but I failed. I'm glad he got the wife at least. Would've been almost a decent victory had he not killed himself, but he did. Silly man. And that family...wow. Can you imagine the picture? 1 crazy old dude, and three crazy women charging at you with knives yelling high pitched obscenities. I'm thinking harpies, that's scary as hell.

    He probably got another text message in prison.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    This goes back to the whole "language as a means to communicate" deal. Why make a symbol and a minute variation of that symbol stand for two completely different things? It defeats the purpose of talking to each other.

    It's almost as bad as changing your username on a forum multiple times.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    its not an issue for the symbol being a completely different thing, its the 2 words that are so alike, sıkısınca and sikisince

    That's true but it only further illustrates my point. Why have two very similar words mean completely different things? It confuses things, as we see in the case of this poor bastard and his woman.

    They have a Japanese tale like that.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuchisake-onna

    kirei (pretty) and kire(cut), but they only sound alike.

    And a story

    Im trying to figure out why he went to jail. i guess in turkey, killing someone who's chasing you and trying to finish you off while you run with a knife in your chest is considered homicide.

    It was probably because they thought it was premeditated murder after he sent her an email stating, "You change the topic every time they are f*cking you". This scenario reminds me of the movie Atonement, where a kinky message gets people in all kinds of trouble.

    I very much doubt they thought anything at all. If they had stopped to think for three seconds, the whole incident wouldn't have happened. This kind of stuff always happens only because people don't think. Or are crazy to begin with.

    Interesting read. Thanks for the link! I seem to remember watching a movie involving the Kuchisake onna before.

    While reading up on other urban legends, I thought this one from Japan was pretty interesting.

    And a story
    Cool story. She got a chelsea smile from her husband.

    Japanese has lots of similar words that lead to well known puns and plays-on-words. Like oppai (breasts)/ippai (a lot) and kirei (pretty)/kirai (hate)/kire.

    Japan's females are longest living in world

    I'm not surprised to hear that. What I am surprised about is that Hong Kong is in the top 2 for male longevity. I cannot think of a reason why that's the case.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
