I read about a mineral museum with 1000 minerals on display and 18,000 in their collection. time for mineral sushi boat display!-- beanangel, Feb 02 2017 One version of the sushi boat, but not the one that this idea refers to ... https://www.tripadv...sburg_Virginia.html [normzone, Feb 03 2017] THIS is what the idea is referring to ... https://en.wikipedi...Conveyor_belt_sushi [normzone, Feb 03 2017] Kaiten https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaitenliteral translation: "Return to Heaven", commonly rendered as "turn of the Heaven's will", "the heaven shaker" [8th of 7, Feb 03 2017] Now you've made me hungry.-- normzone, Feb 02 2017 What, for rocks ?
Are you silicon-based, then ?-- 8th of 7, Feb 02 2017 The Natural History museum could use this. They hold about 35 million insect specimens. Assuming only 5cm per insect, a belt just over 1000 miles long would allow visitors to view the entire collection. Assuming 1 second per insect, this could be accomplished in a little over a year.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Feb 02 2017 I could see this system working at all kinds of museums. The Louvre, for starters.-- RayfordSteele, Feb 02 2017 " Are you silicon-based, then ? — 8th of 7, Feb 02 2017 "
Well, I know of some girls that are silicone-based, but I prefer the natural herstory museum.-- normzone, Feb 02 2017 Fabulous [+] other subjects for sushi-boat conveyance should also be identified as rapidly as is mutually convenient, and then deployed with gusto.-- zen_tom, Feb 02 2017 Oh, you mean listed. Boats may list, but ...-- normzone, Feb 02 2017 Umm, call me thick if you will, but what's a sushi boat?-- not_morrison_rm, Feb 03 2017 Very well, if you insist. You are thick.
I'll go find a sushi boat for you.-- normzone, Feb 03 2017 Ahhh, Kaiten-zushi...why didn't you say so?-- not_morrison_rm, Feb 03 2017 While I have your attention, what is the phrase for " just feed me what you think is best " ?-- normzone, Feb 03 2017 I suspect that [beany] has confused the words "boat" (or possible "boin") and "belt".-- MaxwellBuchanan, Feb 03 2017 somewhere on the link page it does say "Some restaurants use a fancier presentation such as miniature wooden "sushi boats" traveling small canals or miniature locomotive cars."-- not_morrison_rm, Feb 03 2017 // Kaiten-zushi //

Oh, and the interweb informs me that the word I'm looking for is " omakase ".-- normzone, Feb 03 2017 There's also "Kaizen", a quality term that means "improvement " or "change for the better".
Much subtle and harmless amusement may be had by eliding Kaizen into Kaiten in conversation and documents, eventuality leading to the top management unknowingly emphasizing the importance of manned suicide torpedoes as a route to better productivity ...-- 8th of 7, Feb 04 2017 "ten(goku)" is "heaven", so it should be Kaiten-tengoku, but maybe they ran out of paint? "Jigoku" is "hell", the really volcanic bit of Japan is named as this.
Persons of a nervous disposition will be pleased to know no actual sushi was harmed in the production of the subs.
As for committing suicide please go check the Dentsu advertising company...-- not_morrison_rm, Feb 04 2017 Flying models of Japanese WW2 aircraft, packed with explosives and with just enough fuel for a one-way trip ...
Maybe the individual sushi boats could be painted dull grey, with names on them like "Kaga", "Soryu", "Akagi" and "Hiryu" ... at the end of the conveyor, they fall off into a very, very deep tank of seawater, and sink.-- 8th of 7, Feb 04 2017 random, halfbakery
