Is this supposed to be a “find the impossible” type of challenge? Get me a 2015 Exotic Martial Arts Weapon of the Month wall calendar. It should include a photograph (or several from different angles), the name, the country of origin, martial art in which it is commonly used, inventor’s name (if known, which is quite rare), and some sort of write up including special uses for any strange-looking bits. For instance, September should show a nine-dragon spear. Or, for a more modern approach, a 2015 Exotic Firearms of the Month wall calendar. It should include a photograph (or several from different angles), the name, the country of origin, military unit/specialist(s) who commonly use it, inventor’s name (if known), and some sort of write up including special uses for any strange-looking bits. For instance, September would show the Belgian FN P-90 Assault Rifle and it’s accompanying 5-Seven pistol; June would show a Calico 9mm rifle with 100-round barrel-mounted magazine. How about a 2015 Dangerous Animals Poised to Attack desk mat/calendar? Photograph(s), name, where normally found, typical predators, typical prey, typical habitat competitors, typical/special mode of attack/defense, special weaponry (stings, venoms, traps) etcetera. For instance, June could show a King Cobra as it’s spitting venom As with checks, checkbook covers, and return address labels, the stuff available from most of the major printer/vendors is boring and tame, even in the collections geared toward men. * * * Possibly in existence? A daily Zen Koan desk calendar. –G! (or, perhaps, --G!?!) ---

I’d like some kind of Japanese calendar. Made In Japan. Featuring Japanese art, gardening, calligraphy, orgami, gadgets, foodie fotos … you get the idea. ---

> [@DMark](#): > > Those great ads from comic books in the 1950’s - where you could get cool X-Ray vision glasses, sell Grit magazine, buy stamps, get magic tricks and fake dog poop, and all the other fun stuff kids sent off for and were usually greatly disappointed when said item arrived. OK, this is the one I want, too. I used to get those comics in the '50s and was bitterly disappointed that I couldn’t buy any of the exciting, wonderful, only available in the US stuff. ---

Nok Air (_nok_ means “bird” in Thai), the budget subsidiary of the flag carrier Thai Airways International, has teamed up with _Playboy_ for [an annual calendar](http://www.thephuketnews.com/nok-air-sticks-to-its-sexy-calendar-%E2%80%98tradition%E2%80%99-44581.php). Thanks to connections, I just happen to get one each year, heh.

Photos from National Parks or State Parks. Scenic views make great wall calendars. ---
