    We won't even pretend to act like we're fluent in Japanese, but based on our best understanding of machine translation, Hitachi has a few new refrigerators that will actually spritz your food with antioxidants and vitamins to keep things exceptionally fresh and clean (clean). The R-Y6000 and R-Y5400 will evidently sense what types of foods are stored in what compartments, after which a specified amount of nutrients will be emitted in order to keep things from spoiling too soon. We aren't too keen on a robotic fridge having the power to douse our grub with whatever chemical it pleases, but so long as it uses FDA-approved vitamins, minerals, HGH and anabolic steroids, we suppose we'll live.[Thanks, Penny]

    From the We-Thought-This-Was-An-April-Fools'-Joke files: vitamin supplements for gamers, specifically designed to steal away your money increase your ability to get your game on. The supplements, available in two varieties, are just plain ol' vitamins repackaged (and with a few extra dollars added to the price tag). The blueberry tablets (which they recommend you lick, chew, and/or enjoy) are designed to pump up your endurance, while the DHA supplements -- which we do not recommend you chew, because fish oil is gross -- are designed to boost your brain power. Chasing that elusive 20? Take two with water and slap Dr. Kawashima around. Clearly, if you take both, world domination is in your future ... or, at least, you may kick a little ass at Game Night.Game Supple goes on sale next week in Japan for ¥880, or just under nine dollars U.S., for 30 pills.
