I wonder what miso fermented to the tunes of Iron Maiden would taste like. Surely, using some heavy metal would speed up the fermentation process, right?

I never liked how MySpace and FaceBook weren't very good about privacy and the big reason why I like mixi is because it's easy to control who you interact with. There are so many different levels of privacy settings that you can customize. Many people DO post pictures of themselves,…

Why does this site always refer to YOSHIKI as a singer?
