Pathetic. Old guy falls on the track, and the only dude that jumps in to save him is a 79 y/o? Mighty heroic, that button pushing. Might have sprained your thumb.
Glad the old guy's OK, though. Still a nice story to read.

I always thought that the ladies that worked at those nurseries were nutters that couldn't hook up and make their own families.
not exactly sure what that sentence means. Did the teachers hit him, or have the kids under 1 hit him, or what?
nutters are everywhere, watch your backs, and make sure your kids know that you'll bring the fury to any who antagonize them

Way to stay on top of things pop! Glad the kid is OK. 20 is pretty young to have a kid. Gonna be hard on dad now that mom's in the clink, though. Hope grandma and grandpa can help.

You generally start near your thumb, and either down, along the veins, towards, you or across perpendicular to the veins. Either way the cut starts near the thumb and goes out from there. Since the thumb is only one point, you can pretty much cut any direction starting from there. Hold a pretend knife and cut at your wrists to see what I'm talking about.
If the cuts were a significant time after death (the news is not reporting the lag between the death and the cut, but I'll bet the police know) then they blood wouldn't have clotted at all around the area of the cut.
I'm sure any good coroner worth his or her salt has seen enough suicide wounds and knew this one was different than all the rest.
News reports tend to dumb down the specifics to keep people from clicking off to another site.
Of course, I really have no idea what I'm talking about. I came a little late to this party.

Dude, don't you ever watch CSI? a self inflicted wound on the wrist would generally be away from the thumb, as the other hand holding the blade would be more comfortable that way.
Determining how much clotting there is around the wound, they can tell how long someone has been dead. Dead blood doesn't pump out, and would leave a different clotting signature.
At least that's what Horatio would say.

An offer to remove them and re assemble them is nice, but I bet they would have been much more successful if they offered a huge chunk of change for them.
Owning some 1500 year old statues would be a huge tourist draw.

Toyoda will apologize until he's blue in the face, the crooked politicians (all of who are up for re-election) will use this opportunity to grandstand till they're blue in the face, but in the end, the consumer will decide if they forgive Toyota or not. Toyota's had a few problems, and they may have covered stuff up, but when it comes time to plop down 30 or 40K on a car, the only thing that matters is product value.
The real question is has Toyota cars decreased in value more than American cars have increased in value? I suggest the answer is no.
Sorry GM, you're cars still suck.

I don't what's worse, that they arrested her due to bike registration, in a country where bicycle theft is commonplace, or that it took the real thief getting caught in the act to let her go.
One wonders how long they would have held and interrogated her had the real thief not been caught.

You think a cop would put the police stuff in a safe place (like in a locker at work) before hanging out in a pachinko parlor for three and half hours.
Maybe he was going home to work on a tough case, like those cops on TV do. Wait, no he wasn't. He played pachinko for three and half hours.

Beginning of the end for Toyota, and subsequently Japan Inc. I honestly don't see how the Japanese economy can ever recover, as the only thing they really have going for them is the image of producing quality products to sell abroad. Once that image is tarnished, Japan's exports will decrease significantly.
Times are tough all around, economically speaking. Not a good time to grow complacent, Toyota.
Whether these investigations are bogus or not, they will have the intended effect. Convincing Americans to buy more American products.
If this whole global economic catastrophe (that will likely only get worse, and not better) turns out to see who can have the biggest, self-sustaining economy, not dependent on exports or imports, Japan will surely lose.

Interesting paring. Say something about the target J-market, I suppose.
She looks as though she sprained her ankle, and all they had at the doctor's office was some black electrical tape to wrap it with.
