One function of the souterrains of Gaul and early medieval Ireland is to hide in boltholes to escape detection by raiders. Fogous may have had a similar function to the underground kivas of the Puebloans. [9]

In the Kansai region, the slang word teppō, ( 鉄砲) meaning rifle or gun, is used for the fish. This is a play of words on the verb ataru ( 当たる), which can mean to be poisoned or shot. In Shimonoseki region, the ancient pronunciation fuku is more common instead of the modern fugu. [57] The former is also a homonym for good fortune whereas the latter is one for disabled. Where they were open at both ends, a fogou could provide suitable conditions for storing some foods, especially the drying of meat, [ dubious – discuss] or storage of dairy products such as milk, butter, and cheese where natural moulds would assist in preservation of perishable foodstuffs. [6]Like many large speakers, the XL's battery charges through a DC adapter instead of a micro USB, which is more commonly used by smaller speakers. Despite its undeniable touristy flavor, Land’s End is a must-see for visitors to the Cornish southwest. Next stop, Canada. Jim Hargan Noguchi, Tamao; Arakawa, Osamu; Takatani, Tomohiro (2006).

The Tsukiji fish market fugu association holds a service each year at the height of the fugu season, releasing hundreds of caught fugu into the Sumida River. A similar ceremony is also held at another large market in Shimonoseki.

The XL has an IP67 ruggedness rating, which means it's waterproof in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes, and is dustproof. It's also designed to float — and it did when I placed it in a hot tub. The speaker was not negatively affected by its immersion in water. By comparison, the UE Megaboom is IPX7-rated, meaning it has the same level of water resistance, but isn't rated for dust. Performance Fugoo doesn't offer an app to make it easier to control the extra features, something UE has mastered in its Boom line of portables. Instead, you have to remember the various buttons to push to engage the extras. That may be the speaker's biggest shortcoming.Granted, IP67 is the same level of protection that the original Fugoo Sport offered — as well as the Wonderboom 2 — but that’s more enough to take into the shower or leave out in the rain. It had no trouble playing after being dunked in a bowl of water, either. Fugoo Sport 2.0 review: Battery life In November 2011, a chef at two- Michelin star "Fugu Fukuji" in Tokyo was suspended from his post. The chef served fugu liver to a customer who, despite being warned of the risks, specifically asked that it be provided. The 35-year-old customer subsequently required hospital treatment for mild symptoms of tetrodotoxin paralysis, but made a full recovery. [40]

A versatile, weatherproof speaker at an affordable price

Fugu can be lethally poisonous to humans due to its tetrodotoxin, meaning it must be carefully prepared to remove toxic parts and to avoid contaminating the meat. [1]
