Re:Useful Designyou will be happier if it at least looks human, rather than a dishwasher with arms.
(Well, a washing machine with arms, in this case...)

Re:Raman amplifiers dangerous
One pa-packet, two pa-packet, three pa-packet, four...
All this is only true if you abuse yourself by eating the Elmer's Glue-derived paste misleadingly called Ramen Noodles by companies like Top Ramen or the too-aptly-named Smack Ramen.
In college in the 80s, I was introduced to real ramen noodles by some Malaysian friends. They invited me to their apartment and fixed the most wonderful dish, adding fresh vegetables and meat. But the base of the dish wasn't American-style paste-flavored ramen! They told me to check out the oriental food store, so I did.
Probably the most accessible brand for US folks is Sapporo Ichiban, from Japan. I can't find an English-language web site for the company, but this review sums it up pretty well. The packaging and instructions are in English, so it makes a good start. Although it seems to be available online, you can save the shipping costs by simply visiting your local Asian market, if you live in any large US city. (Side note: I also found Sapporo Ichiban at a convenience store in Corsicana, TX! Coming from the south, take Bus I-45.)
Once you've mastered Sapporo Ichiban, you will be ready for real adventure. Start with the SI brand noodles with mostly-Japanese text, then move to noodles from all over Asia with no English at all! I've found Vietnamese noodles to be way too fishy, but most everything else has been good. And the best of all is one I just found: a Malaysian brand of noodles that just might be the ones from that delicious dish from Oklahoma State University, long ago.
My friends also tried to teach me how to say some very vulgar things in Chinese... fortunately, that memory wasn't as enduring as the memory of those noodles. -
I don't need to say anything more than this:

Is this a SECOND live movie?
Is this May announcement of the NGE live movie the same thing that was announced back in March vis-a-vis the new box set? I can't be the only one that remembers this.
AnimeFringe (read down to "There is no end to Eva")
Or are there going to be TWO live versions?
This new announcement makes it sound like the live movie is not yet in production, but the earlier announcement talked about a film that was unreleased, which implies that one live film was already made.
I hope that it's better than the live confusion at the beginning of "The End of Evangelion."
