Man in Japan weds anime game character

Strange but true: a man in Japan married a Nintendo DS video game character.

I don't recommend this as a dating/marriage approach myself.

I enjoyed some of the comments on BoingBoing. One person wrote "I don't give this marriage another year. He'll leave her for the PSP version...".

a+b=b
2b=b
2=1

Can you see the problem?

Proof that 1 is the largest integer

Let N be the largest positive integer. Then either N = 1 or N > 1.

If N > 1 then N*N > N, which breaks our definition of N as the largest integer. Therefore N = 1.

Check out these instructions for controlling your Mac with a Wii remote. I'm not totally sure why you'd want to, but you can! (You could control iTunes from a distance, which could be handy.)

I enjoy the instructions: "Once you have the Wii Remote, be sure to take it out of the package and put the batteries in it. "
