Strange Maid cafes are out, mom serving you cake – in. It appears that geeks in Japan are bored with the Anima and Manga cafes all around them, and quick entrepreneurs cashing on this desire.

The new Mother cafe in Osaka is offering it’s customers “mom-like” experience from the waitresses. The are greeted in friendly tones, can feed you, listen to your troubles. Even though that some of the “mom’s” are 19 years old only, the owner of the place promises that they “look older than their age” and capable of “understating people worries”.

We will not be surprised if will see the adult version of this soon. Where Otaku (Japanese geeks) will get spanked if they will not finish their meal.

Let’s suppose you are in space and get bored. Maybe you will watch the starts, research something important – but if you are a Japanese

astronaut you will throw a boomerang into space.

The boomerang came back and didn’t disappear in some worm hole. Astronaut Takao Doi threw the boomerang to the request of Yasuhiro Togai, a world champion in boomerang throwing.

By the way, Doi is in space with the US shuttle Endeavour and help to built the first Japanese laboratory in space. We can’t wait to see what they will invent in zero gravity, after the invention made on earth.
