I think the whole thing is getting blown out of proportion...

no no no... it's the other guy's fault, he OBVIOUSLY didn't pay attention to the "dying leaf" decal on the suspect's car!!!

Not related??? That's just stupid... I guess the J-cops think the rash of Taxi robberies has been caused by one person then? I already knew it but this just confirms the J-cops won't be solving most of these cases anytime soon.

Ok, it's not related, it's just "inspired by"...

Even though the Windows 7 pre-beta and beta's have been leaked in bitTorrent for weeks now, I've been waiting for this to see if people have had any issues... hear nothing but good things so far and looking forward to trying this out.

Looks like I've got something to geek…

Wow noborito, who crapped in your Wheaties this morning?

I actually enjoyed this story( well, not that she was sick but that everything went well)and hope it stays a happy ending. It's probably also worth noting that in all likelyhood, the J-gov paid for just about every cent of this…

Just a quick point, but other information I've read on this says they propose to give ¥12,000 per family member, plus an additional ¥8,000 proposed for dependents aged 18 and younger, or over 60 years of age (if I recall correctly).

Granted, I agree that this money could be better…

I remember an article almost exactly like this either earlier this year or late last year... I wonder if it was the same guy. One would think Denny's would learn their lesson by now, and ask someone to pay up much earlier than 12 hours later! =P

Ok, real quick, some of you knuckleheads need to read the article again because it was 3 PEOPLE NOT 4. Oh, and by the way... don't really know about all the supposed "Saitama" posts by norinrad21, but just figured I should point out to pizzaboy that you actually ASKED what…

mindovermatter - sorry bud, but I think it's you that needs to wake up and maybe read the article again. Police last questioned the boyfriend on Thursday, body was found on FRIDAY. Meaning police couldn't charge him with anything as they didn't have any evidence, which is a point that…

It seems that both the Grandmother stabbing and the this one actually occured around the same time... I would wonder about some kind of full moon effect bringing out the loonies but then I remember where I'm at and how this is, like, a weekly occurance. Hadn't seen it being…
