Two months ago, a young man named "Chuck" posted his tattoo which supposedly to be his daughter's initials in Chinese in BMEzine's tattoo gallery.
However, his choice of characters was not the best, and his tattoo proudly indicating to everyone that he menstruates regularly.

Today while browsing through the tattoo gallery, another young man is boasting his own (Dec. 4, 2006).
止女流 means "stop woman flow".
Is this some type of viral advertisement for feminine hygiene products? Perhaps I should forward it to my good friend, Steve Hall, at Adrants.com.

CNBC - Game On
On Nov. 15, 2006, CNBC aired a special titled "Game On" talking about the history of video games and its $25 billion financial impact.
During the show, an American businessman was quoted "I was told the only Japanese I needed to know was 百万台, which meant 1,000,000 units." At the same time, CNBC showed 百万台 on the television screen with last two characters upside down.
