In ancient China, black rice was considered so superior and rare, it was reserved exclusively for the emperor and royalty. These days the grain, also known as forbidden rice, has become the darling of gourmets and people seeking superior nutrition.

And now, geneticists report they’ve traced the birth and spread of black rice.

Sob-story:

During my first yr as an animation student, there's was this awesome ONE PIECE Luffy walk cycle being showcased in school. I was so inspired and as a big NARUTO fan I shouted: "IMA GONNA BEAT U!!"
