			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://otakuinternational.com/images/Sep8-14-08postings/pikachu.jpg"><img class="alignright" src="http://otakuinternational.com/images/Sep8-14-08postings/pikachu.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Online auctions can have the craziest things up for sale, ranging from cursed rubber duckies to magical fountain pens (I have actually seen these for sale), but the concept of buying Pokemon was never really thought possible, until now! Some Pokemon Trainer or Breeder attempted to sell 20 real life Pikachus (for $925 million) that he/she caught in the wild.</p>
<blockquote><p>We capture each one after your order, so we guarantee its health! These are Pikachus plucked straight from the natural Pikachu forest, so they&#8217;re of much higher quality than ones you&#8217;d get from a breeder or in other regions. Great for those who are lacking in good conversations with family, who want solace if living alone, who need a new hobby, who love cute and trendy things, or who are looking for a present for a girlfriend or a child. Limited edition! Limited to only 20! First come first serve! We&#8217;ll include a 60-minute video on how to raise a Pikachu if you buy 3 months worth of Pokemon food.</p></blockquote>
<p>925 million seems a little pricey seeing as I can just stroll into the local Pikachu forest myself to catch some. Not to mention I only need one of every kind to get the original 150 pokemon for my pokedex. Now if he was offering something like lets say a Mewtwo or Dragonite, then maybe I would consider comping out the cash for it, or at least give me an evolved pokemon or something. Ahh&#8230;this is all besides the point, the good news is that Pokemon are REAL!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You just have to already know this is coming from Japan. A group of researchers at the Osaka Bioscience Institute has discovered a protein that is vital to transmitting information to the brain <a title="Pikachurin protiened named after pokemon Pikachu" href="http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/features/science/20080722TDY02306.htm" target="_blank">Yomiuri</a> writes,</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://otakuinternational.com/images/pikachurin.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<blockquote><p>The researchers believe that the protein plays a role in determining the efficiency of kinetic vision. They therefore named the protein pikachurin after Pikachu, a popular anime character in the Pokemon media franchise known for its lightning-fast moves.</p></blockquote>
<p>Only in Japan would a newly discovered protein be named after a Pokemon. But I have to admit Pikachurin sounds like a great name to me. Although I personally don&#8217;t see the connection to Pikachu, I still think we should name more discoveries after other Pokemon.</p>
