A big rock that refuses to fall over (Video)

Students preparing for entrance exams in Japan are always looking for sources of inspiration to help them along in their struggle. According to this news report, a rock on the grounds of a shrine in Okayama Prefecture that allegedly will not fall down under any circumstances has been getting a lot of student visitors:

I’m not too sure what a wobbly rock that doesn’t fall over would do to help with exams, but it does look pretty neat.

I wonder how they would react if someone came and actually throws it down.
Maybe they should try to lift the other side ¬_¬
Imagine the headlines: “Bad foreigner tips over the rock that wouldn’t fall.”

I am sure James understand why the student visit there, but for those who do not understand it.

The rock fail to fall = Ochinai.
If you resonate with the rock,
you will fail to fail in the exam, =Ochinai.

Of course, that is a superstition.

All it takes is a one angry gaijin to tip it over >:D

I wish I could say that the local news in Michigan was better, but I can’t. In any case, this is really pathetic for “news.”

If they want to put that to the test, have Konishiki sit on the tip of that rock and we’ll see how fast it’ll tip over.

I think a better question would be how long has that cock been like that anyway.
