Post any picture here, either those which are amusing, or just plain weird.
Please link to the image URL, do not embed them in posts, because it can get annoying.

Starting this off with something I just saw:

42,000 Yen for two melons. For those of you who don't not the conversion, that's around $400. For two pieces of fruit...
Makes that $16,000 racing peripheral look like a steal

What kind of melon is that, if I may ask?

Rosti LFC · « **Reply #2 on:** April 26, 2008, 11:12:05 AM »

It's a muskmelon.
Aside from the fact that it's intended to be bought as a gift, I have no idea why the hell the price is so high.

Apparently it's the fact that they're grown with a lot of attention, so are immaculate. Someone compared them to Bonzai trees.

All of you should look at the prices on Harry & David's fruit some time. It's not quite that exorbitant, but it's ridiculously expensive.

Oh, Japan. Why are you so zany. :')

Just throwing this out there... I've got many interesting pictures.

Sounds delicious.

Froster is messed up.

I remember I got one from Mac's a while back (can't remember how long now) and their slogan was "OMFG" and underneath read "Oh, My Froster's Gone". It was pretty amusing, but it also surprised me.

We had ads like that on our bus stops.

Two more.

Not a picture, but I laughed at this article:

Especially loved the fact it tried for a whole 45 minutes before it gave up.

I saw that, and also this picture, on the theme of interspecies liaisons.

Balore · « **Reply #13 on:** May 02, 2008, 09:46:25 PM »

Oh, God, I have so many...

This.

I could do this all day.
