Glaucoma field study? I think not. It would be interesting to find out the age of the "women" involved in this. If they are willing to risk life in prison in Indonesia for smoking pot, they might also be interested in "younger" partners.

It's the B Team! Up until now, Zespri have been onto a nice little earner with Zespri Gold (Hort 16A) which has been ably promoted in this country by Ken (Sakaguchi) and the delightful Ebi-Chan (both of whom I have met). At the same time, however, Zespri has been having…

This could get interesting. I wonder how far his legal team will go in pushing the matter.

Japan is not going to start developing its own weapon systems because certain other Asian countries would get rather upset. Better to rely on US weapons that tend to get a lot of field testing.

By the way, I know somebody who used to be a RAAF navigator and punched…

How can Aso, the person who received no votes the last time he ran for PM, now be the favorite? This defies belief.

Furthermore, although the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were sad, you have to consider them in the context of the times. Until Japan was brought to the realization that atomic weapons were a reality, you still had NHK radio brainwashing the general public with the "Death of 100 million" propaganda…

When Koizumi was running for PM a number of years ago, the other candidates on the ballot were Shizuka Kamei (no intellectual giant himself), Aso and possibly Abe (not quite sure about the last name).

Back after some time away. Would also like to add some fuel to the fire. One political question is how do shotgun weddings go down with the religious right in the US? I would have thought that this girl's dilemma would have seriously undercut McCain's capital with the fundies of…

Least he didn't kill anyone. This whole story sounds like a repeat of the old dope head allegations that were made against certain foreign wrestlers a number of years ago. The allegations didnt stick then (the Sumo Association went after the scandal sheet that printed them). However, it seems that…
