CT reports on a report about New York's pricey Kobe Club, and this (well, apart from the check) is the scary part:

Hanging upside down from the ceiling in the nearly pitch-black dining room are sharp, gleaming samurai swords, about 2,000 of them. The server volunteered that number, appended with an assurance that the blades, firmly anchored, shouldn’t cause any concern.

"If Akira Kurosawa hired the Marquis de Sade as an interior decorator," says the reviewer. I'm generally in favor of edgy design, but not with this many edges.

I think I'll open a pricey Greek restaurant with lots of cabbage rolls, grilled mutton and we'll even suspend some razor sharp swords that would make even Damocles wince. I wonder what you'd call it?
