  Perhaps this article needs to explain where JAL will be training their 747 pilots in the future. I can see the cost benefit of not flying pilots and instructors to Moses Lake (although JAL does fly to Seattle, which is not that far away) but I don't see in this…

  Pukey2,

  No. The poor sap has to run the entire 100 km. They tend to start strong and end up hobbling the last few kilometers. The taller one of the Un-chan, Nan-chan duo it one year.

  And it's not a marathon. It's an ultra-marathon. Reminds me of the 50 mile…

  If she's anything like the 20-year-olds I'm in contact with she emails the amazing fact that she's walking to a store Now. And then, when she gets to the store, emails that she can't find the product she's looking for + doshiyo? Then, when he emails back that she…

  For the non-ambulatory elderly citizens of Japan - an increasing amount - that the government wants to ignore, these robots will be a godsend. Especially for the homebound elderly living alone.

  However, for the physically-able younger population, I think doing daily chores is a good thing. It teaches time management…

  Amazing. Japanese don't connect with each other even when they do connect with each other. Is this society getting less human or what?

  A co-worker once said that he paid his wife 10,000 yen a pop when she does the nasty with him. One day he proudly announced he paid…

  northlondon,

  Me? A cop? Sorry, unless I have a computer with internet access in my little corner of the koban, I'd go friggin' nuts trying to figure out which bicycle I should stop and check its license.

  On topic, I wonder why the judge didn't say, 'Oh, he's been punished…

  A student brought a bottle of Kiada to class thinking it was a Big bottle of Real Gold. It's surprising light of taste for all the crap they put in it. Caffeine and I'm sure I, like kinniku, thought I saw 'nicotine'. After a few moments my student was buzzing…
