[Taiwan referendums in 2021 to see nearly 20 million eligible voters]
Nearly 20 million Taiwanese are eligible to vote in the four referendums scheduled for Dec. 18th, surpassing the number eligible in the 2020 presidential election.
The increase is a result of an amendment to the Referendum Act (公民投票法), which lowered the voting age for referendums from 20 to 18.
The referendums are on putting the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant back into service, banning the import of ractopamine-laden pork, allowing referendums to concur with a national election, and relocating the CPC (中油公司) LNG terminal from the proposed algal reef site off the coast of Datan (大潭).

[Turnspit Dog]
The Turnspit dog was widely popular in the 15th and 16th century for a task that would surprise most people. These dogs were used in the kitchen to help evenly cook meat.
How? The owners or kitchen workers would place the Turnspit dog on a wooden wheel, similar to a hamster wheel. Chains from the wheel were connected to a large metal spear which would pierce the dead animal whether it be deer, boar, large birds, etc. As the Turnspit dog would run, the large roasting animal over the fire would slowly turn, giving the food an even cook.

[London National Park City]
London has become the world’s first National Park City. The idea behind the label is to protect London’s green spaces, encourage the growth of green areas, waterways and paths and encourage residents and tourists to access them.
[What is National Park City]
A National Park City is difficult to explain, it is a city that has been managed and protected just like you would a National Park, but it's still an urban area. So green spaces are protected and tourism is encouraged to appreciate the nature within the city.

[Why do they say for “her”?]
I'm a dude. I think a pretty classic, manly one too. I carry a knife. I don't wear skinny anything. I own road flares and paper maps. And guess what? I dig a good candle in the wintry north. I don't get why candles are almost exclusively marketed to women. What do you mean, "Valentine's Day Gift for Her"? This was a gift from me to me, and me is a he, and he has a hairy chest upon which many a beer has* been spilt. Seriously, when it's freezing cold and the sun is hibernating, there's nothing like a good, warm glow that eliminates my natural odor of fart and balls. The candles are even burning, very long-lasting, and have a pleasant but not too foo-foo smell. I'll take it.

[Most boring show ever]
If you’re visiting Fukuoka, Japan, on a budget, there’s a hotel that has you covered: you can stay for a paltry 100 yen a night. The catch? Visitors must agree to let the hotel live-stream their stay on its YouTube channel. So far, more than half a million viewers have tuned in to watch strangers sip tea, read and, once, watch a guest attempt to play Twister by himself. (Don’t worry, the bathroom is private!) —Megan Murphy

[Playing telephone]
The lead-up to Chris Ferry’s 62nd birthday this March was bizarre. Instead of just notes from family and friends, Ferry estimates the New Jersey insurance agent received 250,000 calls and texts from around the world. His sons, Chris and Michael, had bought billboard space near Atlantic City and posted, “WISH MY DAD A HAPPY BIRTHDAY,” along with his phone number. It went viral, and constant calls from as far away as Kenya tied up his phone line for days. Ferry got a new number—no word on if he’s shared it with his sons. —Nathaniel Basen
