Check out this 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle from puzzle maker Yanoman. Not only are jigsaw puzzles fun, but when you're done, you'll have a Daruma in your house. Why would you want a Daruma in your house? Because they are modeled after the Boddhidharma, a Buddhist holy figure that can make your wishes come true. Actually, the way it works is that you can usually buy a Daruma near Buddhist temples, with only one eye drawn in. When you buy it you make a wish. And when the wish comes true, you draw in the other eye yourself.
But I don't think the fact that this guy already has both eyes filled in takes away from how cool this jigsaw puzzle really is.

i seem to always learn something new from your blog!!!
