<p>The <a href="http://www.toilet.or.jp/">Japanese toilet Institute</a> – Yes, it is really exist – has started a new campaign for Japanese on how to use the toilets. The campaign is called “Let’s love the toilet”.</p>
<p>Well, what’s there not to love? as we all know that Japanese people are crazy about their toilet’s. They have <a href="http://japanite.com/clean-toilet-with-a-robot/">robots to clean it for them</a>, and they spent so much time there, that they offering some golf games while you <a href="http://japanite.com/bored-in-the-toilet-play-some-golf/">are thinking on your boss</a>.</p>
<p>The campaign aim is to educate the people on how to leave the toilet for the next person (how can I know if it’s a boy or a girl?? oh, the dilemma!) , and how to save on toilet paper. It appears that according to a research done by this prestigious institute, men use 132cm of toilet paper, while women use only 99cm. The institute is waiting to see if the campaign will end in a huge toilet paper savings. We just can’t wait.</p>

<p align="left">A new world record was set in Japan. Toshie Kawakami (57) was announced as the person with the longest eyebrow in the world at a length of 17.2cm (6.7 inch). Kawakami says she hide the eyebrow behind her ear.</p>
<p>A barber once accidentally chopped her eyebrow hair down to 3cm, but it quickly grew back. Apparently Kawakami is going to set a new record soon. The eyebrow grows at a rate of a centimeter a month, so Kawakami is going for the 20cm record in about three months. We wish her and all weird Japanese people good luck!</p>
