My mom just sent me this delightful little Japanese book called The Almanac of Weird Hobbies, which I first read about on my friend Ichiru's
blog a couple of weeks ago. It's a great collection of quirky Japanese people who have totally off-the-wall hobbies, like playing two recorders simultaneously with both nostrils and turning PCs into miniature greenhouses. Not surprisingly,
extreme ironing and
bedhead documentation were also featured in this book. There are some other great examples, some of which I hope to post here or on
TokyoMango over the next couple of days.

Interestingly enough, in ancient Greece, the flute was double and played through the nostrils... until some weirdo started using his/her mouth I guess.

I won a Gong Show style talent show a long time ago by playing 2 recorders in complimentary keys (d and g) with my nose. I can still do it, but it annoys the heck out of my husband...
