A robotic suit that reads brain signals and helps people with mobility problems will be available to rent in Japan for 220,000 yen a month starting Friday

Two big problems right there. In regard to the latter, well it's out of reach for your average Tanaka and Satomi isn't it.…

Does anyone know when Hanshin are publishing their manual on how to choke? Or their guide to how to leave runners on bases? It's a must read for all those interested in how to avoid just giving away the Central League title.

65? Better install a few more ramps and easy-access water coolers. I can't see this working in Japan, there's no way the bosses will let them get home by 4.30pm to have dinner.

This picture is no good. It's less than interesting to see teamwork and cooperation in the world's most boring sport in race car driving. I pity them.

I've changed my mind. Nice pic. Good to see the drivers up there cos that's what's most important. Judging from the otherside of the globe and knowing anything about the place are two different things.

But the judge showed leniency to Oshima who he said did not ask for the bribes and has shown remorse for his conduct. What kind of logic is this?

Well first of all say sorry, even if you just want to minimise the damage or even if you're chuckling as…
