Not sure about exact shark species but could be a lemon shark. They don't grow big and are harmless. Reason why they are often used in exhibits where a diver enters a tank.

Not sure about Kotooshu's fight today.

But I think when Kotooshu faces Hakuho(before friday) he will get his butt handed to him. Why before friday, sat/sun will be reserved for guys close to Hakuho that could(possibly) beat him. i.e. within 2 or losses to Hakuho.

Ama might take another loss…

I agree, as an Ozeki he needs keep a winning score to remain his status.

To become a Yokozuna he needs to win 2 consecutive tourneys in a row and being considered of having a solid winning record. Right now he is NOT likely up for promotion.

Yeah, I know…

Personally like Gibhli as they speak to both kids and adults. IMO, there are few western movies that do it, Pixar gets close.

After watching the previews for "Wall-E" my 7yr old son agrees that it mixes No.5 from "Short Circuit" and "E.T.". Lots of my friends agree too.

Personally,…

ninjaboy.

Watch "12 Angry Men" than comment again, it is a movie from "1957" produced in the USA. It is FREE now on the net.

Human nature don't change regardless of race, religion, political orientation, whatever.

WII in japan has more games/titles for adults than the wee ones.

They cover a ton of other stuff like Yoga, health, etc same with the DS(they now even got an adapter to watch TV on the DS).

I would say in Japan the major market now is adults vs…

omarbabilon.

ANY different from juror systems anywhere else?

Recall a few trials that been moved to a different county/state as the "convict" would not have gotten a fair trial in the state where the crime was commited. Or where jurors were accused as being too caucasian, etc.

Heck, I remember…

Forgot to add, your knees around Head/Neck make a perfect brace. Just sit there supporting the helmet/head using your thighs/knees.

I remember an accident maybe 2yrs back when a Delivery-bike got hit by a car after pulling out from a passage across the road.

Rushed over and saved the girls life as ALL the by-standers wanted to pull her helmet off, etc. She had a fractured skull I noticed the…

I agree Ambulance drivers in japan are not EMS personnel from overseas.

Said that in my home-country when you go for your drivers licence you NEED to take a 3-day First-aid course. LAW is you need to carry a First-aid kit on your car/bike/whatever and you NEED to give aid…
