The statue is actually a Buddhist temple, accessible through an elevator in on of the heels. (No joke!)
Also, there is a zoo at the foot (feet?) of the statue that is home to exotic animals like squirrels, rabbits, and goats.
But I agree, it's a nice place to visit.

Japan already has the means to build nuclear weapons, yet it refrains from doing so, because it would be highly counter- productive.
A nuclear Japan would undoubtedly trigger a further proliferation of nuclear WMD in the region. China would further increase its military modernisation, North Korea would completely deny any future cooperation regarding nuclear disarmament, and South Korea would probably have to try to build the bomb, as well, so it wouldn't become the object of negotiations by "Great Powers" again. Thus Japan would find itself less secure, rather than more.
Also, I highly doubt that any Japanese government could completely change a centre stone of the country's foreign policy without massive public dissent. For any Japanese politician, except maybe nutjobs like Ishihara Shintaro, suggesting a nuclear arsenal would mean political suicide.

The proliferation of cooking shows on TV is a phenomenon that appears to be global. At least it's spreading across Europe, as well. It's a fad that started with Jamie Oliver and, enhanced by a trend called "cocooning" which basically means the focusing on your home in the face of an ever more complex and insecure world, was picked up by others. Also, such shows are cheap to produce, since you don't need writers or talented actors. And you can even let manufacturers of kitchen appliances sponsor your program.

While I generally think that wearing fur is gross, I think that men look particulary stupid doing so. Just look at the picture: He is supposed to be a tough figher, but he looks like my granny.
