Toilet Paper Vending Machines in Japan

We knew that the Japanese were serious about their vending machines, but we didn't know quite how serious. It's hard to argue with the convenience of having beer or cigarettes in a vending machine--the two are often desired at odd hours of the day or night, but travel insurance? Yup, you can buy it automatically at the airport, according to PhotoMann Travel Photography's site categorizing the Japanese vending machine mania.

Other highlights include: eggs, fishing bait, toilet paper, porn, batteries, "used schoolgirl panties", and rhinoceros beetles. Isn't a toilet paper vending machine necessarily going to be a bit to far from the action? It's perfect if you want to teepee someone's house in a hurry, though.
