A strange Christmas tree

There is a superstition in Japan that the cause of earthquake is an eel. People of former days thought eel has magical power, I would say. In our time, we recoginize the existence of electric eel. So, I found news about electric eel.
KAKAMIGAHARA, Gifu -- An aquarium filled with exotic fish here is using an electric eel to power lights on a Christmas tree. Each time the electric eel at the Aqua Toto Gifu aquarium touches a copper wire in its tank, it sends power that lights up globes decking a Christmas tree.

It may be that we can use ell power generation in the future.

An American actor Will Smith came to Japan in December 4 to promote his new movie ''I Am Legend’’. In a press interview, he spoiled ending of the movie. According to Reuters, Akiva Goldsman who is a co-producer and co-screenwriter of the movie shouted ''Don’t give away the ending! ’’. And the press handlers asked the press to keep the ending secret. The Mainichi Newspaper says it may be a reaction against his lonely filming. Because his role is the last person on the earth. This happening may reduce viewers and box-office profits.The movie is scheduled for release in both Japan and the United States in December 14, 2007.
