Godzilla Is Now an Official Resident of Japan.

Looks like Godzilla is formally a citizen of Earth.

Thanks to his regular appearances in and around Japan throughout his multitude of films, Godzilla was recently granted special residency by the Shinjuku Ward in Tokyo.

Godzilla made an appearance at the special event to receive this awesome plaque and a stylish sash from Shinjuku mayor Kenichi Yoshizumi.

This should come as no surprise. Godzilla's giant head and hand were recently installed on the new Toho Cinemas Kabukicho / Hotel Gracery Shinjuku Complex. The life-size head peaks over the rooftop, which you can then see from within the hotel rooms located there. It's all quite menacing, but intended to be fun at the same time.

By providing Godzilla residency, the Shinjuku Ward has officially chosen the King of Monsters to serve as the ambassador of international tourism for the city. As an added bonus, the first three thousand visitors whom want an official copy of Godzilla's residency document may do so at any of the ward's various government offices.

Congratulations to the big green guy. Even though he's caused trillions of dollars in damage, people still adore him. Now that's what I call unconditional love!

Here's a video of the life-size Godzilla installation above the hotel and theater center as it was unveiled. If you skip to the four minute mark, you can see the sculpture from ground level. It's HUGE!

Ice Cream That Will Make You Scream!

The snow clouds are moving away. Temperatures are on the rise. April showers are sweeping through the United States. Spring has definitely arrived... and Summer isn't far behind. That being said, Americans are returning to one of their favorite frosty treats -- ice cream.

Of course, we all know of popular flavors like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, mint chocolate chip and fudge royal... but what about the other not-so-well-known flavors? I present to you a rundown of ice cream flavors that might just make you SCREAM!

Lobster -- That's right, you can actually order lobster-flavored ice cream right here in the United States. This odd flavor is produced by Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium in Bar Harbor, Maine. It should be no surprise given the geography. Surprisingly enough, it's quite the popular selection with the locals. Now that's some ice cream with a bite!

Butternut Squash -- When you think of potential ice cream flavors, vegetables typically don't come to mind. This odd concoction is crafted by il laboratorio del gelato in Manhattan, New York. Mmmmm... squash flavored ice cream. I think I'll pass.

Secret Breakfast -- Perhaps the best ice cream for deviants and those whom will eat anything, this unique flavor is from Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream in San Francisco, California. So what exactly is in Secret Breakfast? You've been warned... it's a mixture of whiskey and corn flakes. Talk about the ultimate hair of the dog treatment.

Wasabi Pea Dust -- This is an ice cream flavor with a kick! Coming from the wildly successful Big Gay Ice Cream in New York City, it is sure to wake you right up upon first bite. They also have other interesting flavors like Cayenne Pepper and Pumpkin Butter (I think I'd like to try this one, actually).

Cow Tongue -- This one is probably the oddest flavor on the list, hence why I saved it for last. You can taste not only this unique treat, but many others just as strange (if not stranger) at Japan's Namja Town amusment park in Ikebukuro, Tokyo! Within Namja Town are various ice cream parlors. Some feature more traditional, well-known flavors. Other stalls... they're peculiar to put it mildly. You can not only order Cow Tongue, but also Octopus, Snake, Salt and Yakisoba -- all in ice cream form. Sign me up!
