You want something intriguing? See if your kanji book has the kanji for the "utsu" in "yuuutsu." I doubt it'll have it -- it's about a 29-stroke kanji that almost always carries furigana (at least whenever I've seen it like in the newspapers and stuff it does). Another cool one that I like is the old kanji for "kame" (the new one is a simplified version of the old one). See if you can find it -- it's one of the rare kanji that actually somewhat looks like what it's supposed to represent. yoroshiku--
