Fifth grader Karin Tabira passed a test that means she is now certified to slice and gut the poisonous fish for consumption.

A Japanese 10-year-old has become the youngest person authorized to prepare “fugu” pufferfish — a delicacy that can kill if its poisonous parts are not properly removed.

Fifth grader Karin Tabira passed a test this summer that means she is now certified to slice and gut the fish for consumption.

She recently used her new skills to serve a platter of paper-thin slices of fugu sashimi to the governor of southern Kumamoto region where she lives.

    I like how being able to drive a car has become the metric that decides if you are removeded or not. Like come on. Cars are killing the planet and even if they weren’t they are the most dangerous form of transport by far. Stop hyping cars.

    Also you can have physical issues, coordination issues or attention issues that make driving difficult, but can still be more level headed than the average person.
