Yeah, remember the Chevy Nova? Sold great in Mexico... All countries' car names are a little goofy sometimes. Advertising execs think they find the perfect combination of sounds and sell it to the car makers. Don't forget the Gloria, Sylvia and the great Fairlady Z.

He can come play for the Mariners. He can be in the outfield with Ichiro. We don't mind if his knees are a little wobbly, Ichi will cover for him. As long as he brings his bat, come on over.

Incredibly great news. Very happy that he has been caught. I hate to bring it up, but now comes the trial. Hopefully he will get what he deserves, but I am a little anxious about the trial. I hope the police and prosecutors have all the evidence they need to…

If he wanted to, he could probably easily get someone's family registry (koseki tohon) and use it to make all kinds of fake ID which would allow him to get a passport. From what I've heard on the news, I think that identity theft in Japan is a lot easier…

MMA and K-1 on New Year's Eve, ah, the new Japanese tradition. Let's ring in the new year watching people beat each other up. Great.

Blue_Tiger, they are only giving McD's a run for their money in Tokyo I think. Still waiting for a BK in Hiroshima. (There was one for a short time, before the whole chain folded the last time. Hopefully this time around they'll survive.) I'm all for these new quarter pounders,…

Mohican is the Japanese way of saying a mohawk, as in the hair style. As you can see in the photo, it has a light blue mohawk or mohican pattern.

Congrats to Ai Haruna, a well deserved win. Ai must have been working out before the competition, recently has looked a bit big, after all of those food shows.

What ever happened to the captain going down with the ship? This is an amazing story with a bittersweet end. Condolences to the 5 who passed away and their families and friends. Great job by the rescuers, and I hope the survivors will have long lives.
