Treasure!

Old news, but damn.

A long quest for booty from the Spanish colonial era appears to be culminating in Chile with the announcement by a group of adventurers that they have found an estimated 600 barrels of gold coins and Incan jewels on the remote Pacific island.

“The biggest treasure in history has been located,” said Fernando Uribe-Etxeverria, a lawyer for Wagner, the Chilean company leading the search. Mr Uribe-Etxeverria estimated the value of the buried treasure at US$10bn (£5.6bn).

In case you missed that here it is again.

Japanese anti-smoking campaign

[inspic=66,leftclear,fullscreen,thumb]

A page of images from a new Japanese anti-smoking campaign. Some of them almost make sense, but a lot of them (unintentionally?) hilarious.

It’s only funnier if you know that the biggest tobbaco manufacturer in Japan is the Japanese government and between that and taxes on cigarettes they make a ton of money on keeping the country addicted so it’s safe to assume they don’t try very hard to break the population (60% of all adult males and 40% of females in Japan smoke) of their addiction.
