I've been hammered to the point where I would have mistaken any one in my bed for my GF.... But would be in no condition for sexual activity, neither would I try to initiate it.
This guy is full of BS.

Tsukiji is more for frozen tuna that was caught in Europe, Australia, by the locals and than sold to Japan.
Actually, a friend from Aomori told me that the locals hardly ever eat the famous "Ohma Maguro" from the Tusgaru Straits, as it all goes to Tsukiji.
Most import tuna comes to Japan via Narita Airport, and goes straight to distribution. Thus the cargo port at Narita has been nicknamed "Narita Gyokou" (Narita fishing port). Narita Airport is listed a having the largest tuna manifest in the Fishery ministry's log.
Or, I could tell a funny story as to why police and railroad workers in Japan refer to traffic and railroad deaths as "maguro". And other uses for the word.

Let's not forget, Bruce Willis pumping Eneos gas in a costume resembling the oil rigger suit from Armageddon.
Kiera Knightly dressed as buchaneer for, some product that escaped my memory.
Almost every sports star in their uniform.

Funny you'd mention that. I totally recall (pun intended) Ah-nold SchVartzn-eeger doing some beer ads. One in his "Predator" do-up, another as the Terminator.

Some readers seem to have the impression that a single uniformed officer can take down the entire organised crime syndicate.
Thus the, "Don't they have better things to do than stop a gajin on bicycle? Aren't there real criminals like murderers and Yaks!" type comments.
Is there any contry country in the world where a uniformed officer gets up one day and decides, "Heck, I wanna bust me some mobsters today!"?
And yes, Japan does have it's own home-bred vice unit and anti-organised crime task force. They have been so far effective, as Yakuza membership has dropped by 80% since the late 80's.

Shows a lack of creativity and knowledge of science. A dead body wrapped several times in cloth will burn like a candle as fats and bodily fluids melt and seep into the cloth, causing a wick-effect.

Dang! you nailed me with the 広辞苑。 一般＝generally, most commonly....
I try not to let semantics get in the way of human interaction. Most of the time, at least.

外人 is not a real word. It's an abbreviation of 外国人.
Japan is full of them, even on official documents. On a drivers liscense, one might have the following abbreviaitons.
普通二輪自動車＝普自二 大型けん引自動車＝けん引 原動機付自転車＝原付 大型特殊自動車＝大特 大型第二種自動車＝大型二

I know, it's very confusing. It took me years to wrap my head around it.
for example: 入手 means "to acquire" 手入 means "to care for, to maintain".

Actually, "外部の人" would mean something more like; "someone who came from outside".
The proper term for outsiders, or people who don't belong is "部外者". Hence the warning signs on restricted areas. "部外者進入禁止"。 外部 is used more as a term for the outer side of an object.
See the Japanese word for "surface damage" －"外部損傷"
外人＝外国人 is the proper relation.
as in "person from foreign country".
