In childhood, I had a robot toy that's something like in the graphic. It's such nostalgia!

Conreligions
I've heard of conreligions, constructed religions, as part of the hobby of conworlding, constructing imaginary worlds.
Happenings Explained
The strange things happening nowadays may someday have explanations that we can understand. Now, we rely on imagination.
Fact Stranger
Though we many times like to wallow in the imaginary, we should note that fact is often stranger than fiction.
Size and Universe
You're really small because the universe is truly vast. Many can't really fathom the huge size of the universe.
Not Just about Japaneseness
My personality isn't just about Japaneseness. I'm a radical intellectual, which means that I prefer to be a "World Citizen" than to be part of some historical ethnic group. I stand not as just "being Japanese." I'm an Esperantist, Lojbanist, and Interlinguist. I'm an amateur astronomer. I'm a sci-fi fan. It's not about "being Japanese." Some of you still remember the 1980's when Japan was the focus of attention.
Numerology and Calendar Jail
Many Lulu Islanders take numerology seriously. Sometimes the ideas and content of some container are less important than counting the items themselves. The numbers are more sacred to them. The calendar becomes like a jail with each date having some preassigned meaning. It's useless really because creative people can conjure up new calendar designs with different systems of reckoning. Some people don't understand cultural relativity.

Verandah Town
In my Verandah Town, there is a bylaw that says that all houses would have a rooftop verandah. Lawns are prohibited. Berry bushes are encouraged.
Different Calendars
I can conjure up different new calendars with different month names and numbers. Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien was an expert.

Esperanto Blond?
Esperanto being blond is just a myth. Esperanto is like a Jewish language, invented by the Jew, Dr. Zamenhof.
