Well, that ia a twist, isn't it? I can't wait to find out where these bottles came from, what they actually contained and how long they have been there. It should make for some interesting reading, but whether it goes in the fiction or non-fiction category is yet to be determined.
You have to wonder though, how would 'Naoki Average' come up with 4 bottles containing radioactive materials at such a high level?. What was in them and what did he or she do with it? How many more of these little deposits of radioactive bottles are hidden under floorboards throughout Tokyo? Were they left there deliberately? Mind boggling?

Oh, is that right? Where were the components made for the computer you are using right now?
I voted 'yes'. Not so much for his innovations, but for the direct effect on society his innovations had, thus making him comparable with Thomas Edison. IMO.

It would be a good idea to stay out of Tokyo on those nights.

And there it is folks! That one paragraph sums up Japanese politics extremely well. The country is run by wealthy bureaucrats with no idea of how to or intention of running the country. It is just a power game for themselves, hence Japan having 16 PMs in 15 years and the degrading economy and society can be directly linked to that time frame. For my money, Koizumi was the only 'real' PM Japan has had in the last 50 years.
Ozawa is just another rich Jiji out for personal gain and notoriety. Now, he has pulled the good old Japanese 'sympathy ploy'.

Are you an atheist if you believe in yourself? As did Steve Jobs. The bottom line of all religions was to believe in yourself.

Although Apple only holds 8% market share for computers, it was announced today that the iPhone is the most popular phone in Australia, ousting Nokia.
RIP Mr. Jobs. It is not the end of your life. It is just the beginning of your memory.

I wonder if the world would feel such sorrow if the ex-CEO of that other operating system passed away.
RIP Mr. Jobs.

Shouldn't he be charged with man slaughter? A 10 grand fine is hardly fitting for the crime of throwing a six year old kid hard enough to cause his brain to swell. I hope the bully feels proud of himself.

No doubt the contamination extends much further too. It is also disappointing that they know how dangerous this is to children and expectant mothers, but have only made it a voluntary evacuation order, thus giving them no grounds for compensation. Donkey's butts!

The guy started with this when she was a pre-teen, which makes this pervert a peodofile and he should be charged as such.

So, it seems all the negative comments about common-sense being nonexistent in Japan are true! He's lucky it wasn't a kid standing next to him. It would gone into their chest. What a total dip-sh!t ! ! !

Gotta love that last paragraph! They 'hope' it will release a lower level of radioactive ash? Meanwhile, north-west Chiba has just been exposed to cloud of radioactive smoke and ash particles. And, this is only the beginning! These kinds of reports will only become more frequent over the next year or so as the clean up gets into full swing.
