If you missed out on this September's Grand Sumo tournament, you'll want to pay close attention to the information on the 2007 Sumo schedule in Japan. During 2007 there'll be the usual six grand sumo championships, each lasting 15 days, with the first kicking off on January 7 in Tokyo.

In fact, the Sumo organization's website, especially its English version, is really improving, and you can now read pre-tournament interviews with sumo luminaries like champion big-guy-in-a-diaper Asashoryu, who says "I want to do my best to go after the next championship while extending my undefeated streak."

Did you misread that too? We thought he was talking about steak. If you want to feel thin without going on your on diet, get to Japan and a sumo tournament in 2007 and you'll be happy and content for months.
