If the other countries don't provide to line their pockets japan will go short.

Zeppelins are safe, what caused the previous major disaster was the paint they used on the canvas NOT the gas. Was reported on discovery about 3yrs prior to the mythbuster (yuuck) episode.

Myself wouldn't pay the price for a trip, but zeppelins are still used today to move some heavy…

Ok, got here late.

BUT who is doing the over-fishing the japanese or nations adjacent to the Mediterranean?

I liked "Warau Inu"(up on the net) as it poked fun at the japanese culture a LOT. Just look at the "Happa-tai" skid ridiculed in the west as being funny/weird/ott. But it was a call for the Salary-man to break from the mold and do their own thing.

The guys…
