I don't mean to be disrespectful, but of all the places to hang yourself, in a public toilet?
Sad, just so sad - R.I.P.
Does anyone know if she was being bullied at school? the news article gives us no insight into what was going on at school.

Did anyone else notice that the lady riding the bike was 79 years old? Is it possible she could have been weaving around the road just a little bit which might have help cause the accident?
Then again if I make it to 79 years old I'll be lucky just to be able to walk let alone ride a bike.

The Butler did it!
Wait a minute JP says: The property was auctioned off and had been purchased by a real estate agent.
So this real estate agent never did a walked thru of the house before bidding on it????? IF he had done a walk thru am sure would have found the body. This story sounds REALLY strange to me.

Police picked up Nakano because he was seen driving a black car that matched a description of the getaway vehicle.
Well of course we all know that the bad guys drive black cars - this was an easy one the police to solve.

Moderator: Please learn the difference between "looser" and "loser."

Hey telecasterplayer - Why don't we have Steve Martin play the part of Godzilla. They could film it in Iraq this time (oh wait Iraq already looks like Godzilla has been there) - how about Canada, they never get to be in any SciFi movies.
Bottom line - Leave Godzilla to the Japanese film industry where it belongs, this is just one thing that America can't get right in Hollywood.

I don't think that Japan has the monopoly on wives who want their husbands to drop dead this minute! I believe this to be a world wide epidemic. Where's the World Health Org when you need them? Or is this part of Global Warming?????

Funny how they dress like invaders from outer space from an old 1960's Japanese Sci-Fic movie.

There is no mention of how badly the employees of the store were FREAKED-OUT by this, just think of the nightmares the employees have who found these kids! My heart goes out to the the little ones and the store employees.

It doesn't sound like the show Biz has gotten to her head yet - I just hope she can keep it that way. I hope she makes it to Anime Expo in Los Angeles some year.

Just really sad - its Vietnam all over again. To many young Americans dying for what will prove to be for NOTHING in only five more years when they pack up and leave and it goes back to the way it has been for the last 2,000 years.

"and then to have those massive pillars within feet is just a tragedy waiting to happen. The course should have been designed with curbed Plexiglas coming out of all the turns to keep the racers "inside" the course. Sad turn of events- so sad !" - Branded
Branded, you hit the nail on the head! Why would anyone put pillars up knowing that people might just fly off the course. It always takes a major accident (and usually someones life) before these people design it right (although common sense should have dictated here!).
Our hearts go out to this athlete's family and friends who spent the last year cheering him on during his practicing for this event.

Let the U.S. pull out of Japan completely and let Japan face China and N. Korea by itself (and see how long it takes before government officials in Japan start crying for the good old days).
