I was wandering around the internet when I came across the Most Expensive Site. To state the obvious it catalogs the most expensive items in the world. Things like cars, toothbrushes, trash cans, coffee, chickens, etc. Everything is ridiculous but I found myself particularly puzzled by the description of the Happy Hacking Keyboard HP Japan, PFU Ltd. which is coated with Urushi Lacquer using a brush "made from the hair of virgins."
This piqued my professional curiosity. I do a fair amount of painting and maybe I'm missing out. Do brushes made of virgin hair perform better than non-virgin hair brushes? If they do, I hope the horse whose hair makes up the next brush I buy has a sad lonely life.

HA! Sad and lonely is always better when it comes to art.
That is really funny and odd. Initially, I thought that keyboard looked like it was made of some very expensive, fine chocolate. Not really as useful, I guess.
