I don't think they still use mercury to measure the temperature in 2012 as it is toxic and potential harmful to the environment, if the thermometer falls on the floor

I am all for having zoos if animals are kept in near normal conditions as they would have in their homelands. But this particular zoo should have been closed decades ago!!
Just like in Okinawa

If they buy the islands A: from a Japanese family, they don't solve the problem with china as the money stays in Japan B: they admit that they don't belong to Japan otherwise why buy something which already belongs to you, why not just sell or lease it out to china. Shorten Japans depth and make money which you would nob be able to earn by fishing there.

I guess in years to come there will be a relatively high unemployment rate in Japan too, just like some places in the US or Europe - certainly Tokyo is not going be the location where 25% of all the Japanese people want/have to live to make a living.

This article is not about Titanic at all, but accidents at sea, human error causes most of them and thus they always will happen, regardless of how good a ship or piece of gear is.

It's no like Joe-hobby diver can enter there at 3800m of depth. If you have 50.000$ person and team up with the scientist guys running the subs you might get down there.
Than again, In Germany they rent out grave sites for 20 years and if after that time you don't repay it will be flattened and somebody else can be buried there.
So if they would want to and had the technical ability's to, they could raise it and it would be fine by me.

human tissue will not survive when submerged in water for longer than a month or so, think of a year, bacteria and eventually moving water ripping of body parts, they might find a pair of boots but I doubt they find any human remains.
I'm saying that as a diver myself.

The probably get all the radioactive stuff from Tohuku, which you can't sell in supermarkets but if you are between borders - who cares? You can blame it on airplane radiation, and nobody can proof it, as I guess you are probably not allowed to take a geiger counter on board.
The first and the last time I ate there was 5 years ago and I good sick, so I would not want to eat it, or only if I can have some "awesome lawson candy"
