Very smart of how FB plays "not" after the books. Who would have thought that FB is going to be valued that high if a company only makes several million in revenues. Zuckerberg is playing poker right now. He may fail, he may not. Maybe, just maybe, FB goes bankrupt with this attitude one day soon and they'll finally beg Google to by them out. Just my prognosis, very far fetched, but right at times.

6:30pm on a national holiday. Dads are usually with the family. 6pm is dinner time in Japan. Why do you think music is played at 5pm to call home kids across the nation. What was mom doing on a river? Nothing fishy here.

If everything that happens travels away with the speed of light, everything that has happened in time could be captured by such or other device or other timelines of other people can be explored.

This is normal anal police procedure to first convict for dumping, then for murder. The lady will get lifetime if not the death penalty. Just takes time for the geezers to inkan all paperwork 3 times.

My wife was 39 when she gave birth to an adorable downy baby boy. So yes the chances of abnormalties may increase with age, I can say. We sometimes talk about what if were younger, maybe in the late 20s, and would have likely an easier time catching up with our boys when they are in their 20s, but we will be in our 60s.

Yeah, it always reads nice on the credit card statement accessible for the wife: 5,800 Yen at Dogenzaka Inn :)

Paying by credit card? Obviously none of you have ever been to one :)

I can't imagine that spending 1,200 yen per day for meals, utilities, and medical treatment makes up for heaven-like conditions in Japanese prisons.

@stuart_jukes I think Stu is right on track. That's exactly why I have been asking previously how much tax revenues are being collected annually, besides all the other points you have mentioned. Damn smokers :)

So 80% (I don't believe it just yet) of the non-smokers, or 100% of the JT readers have no idea how much annual tax is being collected from those 20% horrible people, who all die of cancer some day and are such a burden to the so very healthy other 80%?

Probably more like 8,500 tons of waste. No source :)

To all JT geniuses. Why do you think we get by with only 3 nuclear reactors online? Has it occur to you that we are burning something else very expensive to maintain the current demand.

@Elvensilvan I don't believe anything. I explained such an occasion in my article at http://japanoutdooradventures.com/radiation-levels-in-gunma a few months back when hot-spots where found in Minakami. When I was there with my own Geiger, nothing showed up. We simply tend to overreact to this topic as to so many other. 2 weeks after Fukuchima I released http://japanoutdooradventures.com/post/4126799166 to show that we are safe where WE live. Btw, it was so predictable to read the comments bellow after having read the article. News of any kind and source is 95% garbage, so I suggest we all stop reading/watching them and turn on our Facebook when being on the road ;)

OMG, that's 10.8624 millisieverts per year! You all have a calculator in your phones, right? Yes absolutely health concerning. Come on guys, give it a break. There is more natural background radiation in some parts of the bavarian forest and they seem to be living fine for centuries.
