This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Buddha snot

The Great Buddha picking his nose

According to Ananova Japanese priests have won a partial victory against a sweet company in Nara, western Japan. The company was selling sweets described as being From the nose of the Great Buddha. The sweet packets carry a picture of Buddha picking his nose.

The priests have managed to prevent the name being registered as a trademark but they haven’t been able to stop the sale of the sweets to tourists who visit Nara to see the giant Buddha which lives there.

An apology

Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.

I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
