Restaurants in China have been offering a special dish lately.

Cats Boiled Alive.

If that isn’t horrifying enough, the chefs beat the cats with a bat because “the more torture the cats recieve, the better they taste”.

The cats are beaten until unconscious, thrown into hot water, then skinned and boiled again.

Doglovers rejoice.

Menus offer cat meat, cat brains and cat intestines.

I think I’ll just stick to ramen.

The University of Tokya’s professor Masayuki Nakao has created the world’s smallest bowl of ramen…kinda.

A 1-micron wide bowl (the bowl was carved from silicon using a metal particale beam) was filled with the “noodles”.

To give you an idea of how big this 1-micron bowl, you could fit 100 hundred of these bowls of ramen in a human hair follicle.

The noodles themselves are 20-nanometers thick and are made of a soup of ethanol and catalyst to form carbon nanotubes.

I doubt they are as delicious as the real thing.

Hey, if you like this stuff…that’s cool.

I won’t judge. I believe it’s ever persons personal choice.

This isn’t my thing, not that there’s anything wrong with it.

 I figured it was time to acknowledge the inevitable internet phenomenon know as LOLCats.

So here is one perfectly suited to this site.

I thought these pictures would be fitting on the site.

I’d throw out that pot of soup…unless you’re into that flavor.

…for a bowl of hot ramen!

Considering the costs it takes to go into space what with it being in the hundreds of millions and sometimes even the billions, I can’t see astronauts dining on ramen. Maybe lobster bisque space packets or some surf n’ turf tubes…but ramen?

I guess it works out great on the Japanese Space Station though.

I admit, I love ramen.

I’ve just never loved ramen.

But now, if ever the mood should strike me (which I’m pretty sure NEVER will) I can have an intimate encounter with my favorite oriental treat.

Cup Nude is an “adult toy” sold in Japan and is in fact NOT ramen. But if you close your eyes and pretend…you’d be a weirdo.

I don’t know about you but when I get “hungry for love”, I don’t go to the cupboard.  Plus what is inside of the cup doesn’t look very appetizing anyway.

And let’s not forget the flavoring. Cup Nude comes with a packet of Gently Acid lotion. Mmm… pleasurable.

I wonder if they have Naughty Nurse and chicken broth?

Maybe someone can explain this product to me.

Is it Pikachu flavored?

Is that meat? Carved from real pikachus or maybe scientifically created in some japanese lab with what they believe a pikachu would taste like, which I assume is marshmallows and crack.

I’ve had beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, etc but never pikachu. So if anyone can read japanese, please let me know what the heck kind of ramen this is.

I’m hoping for a Ramen Christmas sweater this year.
