Eeeewweee!!!
They're actually drinking the wine that they're dipped in!!!! Ack!!! This brings new meaning to the word "bodily fluids"!
This must be Realist's worst nightmare, considering Realist's obsessive nature with hygiene!
Though, in this case, I would be as severely opposed!

Archbishop Milingo announced a new revision to his Mass this week which promises to be a "fully immersive Eucharistic experience". Reverend Moon has heartily endorsed the reform.

Despite being enough to convince Pharoah, Hotep and Huy's effort to replicate the turning of the Nile into blood was seen as a mere fake by other observers.

Whenever I ask them where the bathroom is all they do is lift up their glasses and say "koko desu!". I guess I'll keep drinking till I find out.

Exodus 7:17 This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD : With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood.

Fortunately the wine in the glasses looks darker than the wine they are bathing in, so I don't think it is the same.
I am rather disturbed by the thought of if that wine was consecrated. Washed in the blood of the Lamb anyone? Here's to hopeing no wacko liberal reads this and thinks it is actually a good idea.

Here's another:
'Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
Don't disturb me now I can see the answers
Till this evening is this morning life is fine.'

Jesus surprises and delights a wedding party at Cana, Japan.

As I'm in Japan, I'd love to see that picture. I think I'd just wait for Jesus to multiply ramen or sashimi to feed 5000 people who were stranded on trains or to walk on top of Tokyo Bay.

For those who are sceptics, it is real red wine in the spa.
This is one of the Yunessun amusement spas in Hakone, about 75 km south of Tokyo.
You can enjoy a dip in the wine spa for $3,500 Yen (about $30).
That price will also get you into the Green Tea spa and the Coffee spa.
What, no Warm Maple Syrup spa?
Posted by: Old Zhou | Nov 20, 2006 3:43:23 PM
Thanks, Old Zhou!
Yet, the thought that this is actually real doesn't bring any comfort; in fact, it makes it even more gross -- to think that people would actually pay $3,500 yen for what could potentially be contaminated with urine (among other things) doesn't seem all that inviting!
I mean, that's like paying money to drink off of someone's toilet bowl! Double Eeeeewwweee!

This isn't very funny, but it made me think of ..
I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine.

I doubt they'd urinate on the pool. Japanese are usually cleanliness-loving people. You're not even allowed to bathe in a tub if you didn't wash yourself first!
Posted by: patrick | Nov 21, 2006 12:09:53 AM
I suddenly thought whatif they had a Green Tea spa, Miso soup spa, Ramen broth Spa and a Pool of Sake?

Holy Wine Fonts? Probably somewhat more sanitary than the current practice. Do flu/cold viruses thrive in wine? Maybe Holy Gin or Holy Vodka Fonts would be a better choice?

When the priest says for all, that is a lot of wine you are talking about.
Posted by: Michael | Nov 21, 2006 4:42:57 AM
They are not drinking the bath water its Beaujolais Nouveau wine, and while the bath water has some wine mixed in they arent that stupid to drink it.
I have been there, no free wine at that time though, and it is a fun place. It is the only hotspring in Japan that I know of where you can wear your bathing suit, otherwise you're nude and separatd by gender. This way you can go with friends/family of the opposite sex and have fun trying the 20+ differnt baths such as wine, coffee, rose, baths made of different woods and so on.
Thats said my caption would be either
"kampai" (cheers)
or
"kami ni kansha" (thanks be to God!)

in older baths in Japan, segregation between gender was almost nonexistent.
But seriously why would people bathe in liquor?

Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey, I'll live 'til I die.
If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck,
I'd dive to the bottom, and never come up.

You think the wine pool is bad, you should see their cigar bar...talk about second hand smoke!

"But seriously why would people bathe in liquor?"
Because it's there.
Actually, a nice heated and diluted bath of wine probably would be kinda pleasant. But first, I'd have to mull it over. :)
