Speaking of natto. Japanese TV is full of the funny, weird and
the strange. We once watched a show where one of the challenges was
to see who could get the longest "string" of natto. They had 3
people in this challenge. Each guy took turns standing on a
forklift-like platform, holding a pair of chopsticks with some
natto. One guy had an unbroken "string" 10 meters long!
