The Shukatsu festival, where visitors are taught how to properly prepare for death, took place in Tokyo last Saturday. Shukatsu means 'Preparing for one's end' in Japanese, and the celebration is held nationwide on the December 16.

Some participants even lay in coffins and had the lid sealed.
Meet Qoobo, a fluffy, faceless robotic pet that might actually be the prrr-fect pillow.

Qoobo comes with all the cuteness of cat but without the trouble.
This mechanical mud-spewing contraption is Dorodorobo, and it's probably the most disgusting robot ever. Dorodorobo leaves a brown trail of gunk wherever it roams, which is basically all that this robot is capable of. The Maywa Denki Corporation, a Japanese tech company, actually took the time and resources to create this abhorrent bot and may even release it to the market.
