This list has a whole bunch of Japanese greatest hits including Kaba Kick (the Japanese Russian Roulette game for kids that we memorably discussed on here once), but my favorite one is probably God Jesus Robot - apparently a Christian Asian Magic 8 Ball equivalent of some kind - who appears to be telling the earnest young man on his box art that no, he's not actually going to find love with the girl of his dreams after all.

That's hillarious.

The fat "Buddha" statues that we sell everywhere probably look just as ridiculous to them.

Dude, I totally have a Magic Buddha. You shake him up and tip him upside down and the twenty-sider or whatever it is lodged in the magic blue 8-Ball fluid up his ass will read to you the future.

He totally claimed "it is doubtful" when I asked him if things would be okay if I stopped researching 9/11. True story.

I totally have to pick up a God Jesus Robot at some point. I'm all about divination objects.

In my continuing defense of this bizarre practice, I might point out that Moses had the Urim and Thummim, too.
