I don't know much about this story but I agree with Tanaka; how do you sneak 1.4 million British pounds of drugs into someone's bag without the person knowing? I did an Internet seach and it says the value of cocaine in 2001 was US$12k to US$35k a kilo. 1.4 million British pounds is about US$2.1 million (at today's lowered exchange rate). Let's say the cocaine was high quality at US$35K a kilo, that would be 60 kilo of cocaine or 132 pounds. I think I would notice the difference even if the weight increase was only half that. Either Mr. Baker story is fishy or the value of the drugs provided is incorrect.

I don't want to think about the lines if more than one of these landed around the same time.

Shouldn't the baby be facing the other direction if the dad wanted him to see the orchestra? And what is the baby looking up at?

"According to Japan’s health ministry, imported beef is inspected at five stages: Inspection at factories in the U.S., quarantine at Japanese customs, animal quarantine by Japan’s agriculture ministry, inspection by private-sector buyers and private-sector food process factories. However, an official says, “The rate of random sampling on imported beef is just 1%.”"
Looks like one of the five stages of inspection is done and controlled by the U.S., while four of the five stages are done and controlled by the Japanese. Are they saying that the inspection done by the Japanese is insufficient?

I think Japanese men would pay good money to get a Nose job and/or Facial from her....probably more profitable than selling T-shirts.

Tragic accident. I am glad the other kids were smart enough to call for help and not jump into the pond to try to save the little boy. Otherwise, the death toll could be higher.

That is one ugly picture. On the bright side the picture size is a lot better than before. Looking forward to some nice pictures in the future.
