The name “Nintendo,” spelled with the characters 任天堂, means “entrust luck to the heavens” and “do what is humanly possible and leave the rest to fate”. Since the original owner of the company is deceased, the exact details of the name are not clear.
So clearly this shirt is a big subliminal ad for Nintendo. ^_~
so one would logically conclude from that insightful little maxim the following – Do your worst and leavethe rest to Hell.
Or am I being little bit too cynical?.
although my haiku’s would seem to fall into that category – God they are Satanically Execrable!!

November 8th, 2007 at 11:40 amthe real question is that while your worst is deserving of hell, is your best deserving of heaven?
If the answer is no then “leave the rest to heaven” takes on a much more sinister tone, neh
November 8th, 2007 at 1:02 pmwell i’ve always assumed that the “sinisteral” path led straight to Hell anyway…but then i’m only a fish.
*Hell is probably Cannery Row*
