It says 70 cm carbon arrow - it is not kyudo, as those have around 100 cm. Nevertheless, a western style arrow is just as dangerous... in my opinion these are more dangerous than small fire arms. If the victim was able to extract it himself, it seems that the…

Is this western archery or kyudo? I believe the victim would be very very lucky to survive a full force strike by an arrow used for kyudo. I saw these penetrating 5-6 cm wood boards and going all the way through...Also, it is difficult to aim at close range with…

Ohooh--I used to take theis old 747 :) on this route - what an experience!!

The toilets were old style (water latrines, with no high pressure evacuation) and one can imagine the smells aboard every time the air pressure changed (while climbing)...

US is actually right on this one.

Japan is supposed to be a peace loving country, and surely should not do any business with a nuclear oriented Iran. Japan is really quick to complain about nuclear proliferation, how about also acting accordingly? I guess it is difficult to resist the…

browny1 - thank you.. I was not watching the news (just listening them) and I was really shocked when I heard Hitler's name and the disgusting comparison.

Stupid old dried-plume-balls Tanigaki-ojiisan... for your information, Hitler in his pre-election speeches was publicly describing how he would kill and burn all not…

On of the opposition guys went so far as to compare Hatoyama's peech with Hitler's... In Europe he would urgently loose any political position he had after such an abominal idiocy... That guy knows nothing about history and who Hitler really was, but is quick to make comparisons

In some…

cleo - I don't wear fur either (except my natural one :)) ).... but... there are sooo many people contradicting themselves... They go to these rallies then they go out to a nice sushi or a steak (in blood, half done) dinner, wearing leather something, and eating things that were…
