Thanks to a thread in GQ reminding me, I was just looking for the web site for a company that made [a volumetric display](http://skyblue72.blogspot.com/2009/05/actuality-systems-perspecta-volumetric.html) a number of years back. But the URL has been taken over by…[_something_](http://www.actuality-systems.com/). And I want to know what it is. ---

According to Google Translate,the site says: > [@](#): > > In the Chubu and Kinki districts, there have been customs that have called “female abalone” and “male abalone” for a long time **and called “couple abalone” to eat pregnant women**. Emphasis mine. ---

You know, I actually tried this [in Google Translate](https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.actuality-systems.com%2F&edit-text=) before posting here, but while scrolling around on it I got the mistaken impression that it was all untranslatable images and missed the sporadic text, such as Mr. “I get tired and give you preciousness!” ---
