@Serrano - I agree. Unless you are there on an official diplomatic mission I wouldn't set foot in the place. I wonder if Rodman will go back now? I hope they let Bae go, but given the run up to all this I'd say it's going to be a problem. Somebody needs to teach the pudgy Un a lesson.

Yeah, I have to agree, the Chinese are giving Abe just what he needs to take the military out of the closet. And then go nuclear, perhaps. It's a rotten situation. I guess that means we'll be hearing from NK soon too.

+1 for Badsey. In Pittsburgh they once they had a toxic fog of fluoride that etched the glass in people's windows, not to mention killing people. The is also evidence that fluoride helps aluminium cross into the brain, which could have something to do with Alzheimer's. Which is why the FDA is phasing out fluorinated no-stick cookware.

Reports are that NK is moving medium range missile launchers to their east coast. Now the question is, will the US allow those launchers to go on line or will they take them out first?

I don't know what the Un hopes to accomplish by this nasty display of nuclear aggression. It's certainly going to have some impact with the Chinese. The last thing they need is a nuclear war on their border. But I'm really glad I'm not in SK right now. I feel sorry for all those people who have to live with this kind of ferbile threat. I hope the Un chokes on his cognac.

Berlusconi has seen plenty of topless women. Most of them underage and paid for it, apparently. Too bad the Italians can't rent an island from the Brits for the old jerk. Where what that they stuffed Napoleon?

Odawara school is right in town. Nice town, too. I recommend a visit to the castle and then take the train to Gora. Rather amusing rail line if there ever was one. The Odaikyu line will get you there.
As far as the school vandalism goes, this is just stupid. Probably more than one person involved. I'm sure the cops will be all over this.

Interesting research. You have to wonder when the practical application will be available.

The problem is jerks like this don't just want suicide. I hope the poor girl recovers. And maybe they won't give the guy his pain meds.

I think there's a difference between the reaction you'd get for publishing an article or picture critical of Mohammed vs. the Thai royal family. But either is a violation of free speech. In Japan the printing of a Mohammed cartoon wouldn't necessarily be enforced by the government though. Same for the US or Britain. That's a major difference.
