    Spidey is right but there are exceptions for: 1) News/Media photographers taking picutures of people in the public interest (they can take photos of non famous people in crowds at events for instance, if it is in the public interest to have that event publicised) 2) Public figures in public…

    Wow.. I've never seen a costumed villain/vigilante before.. There was an indiscriminate stabber a few years back that dressed as as a teddy bear.

    What is wrong with saying whale meat is nice to eat? Anyone who knew even a little a bit about Japan would know that they care a lot about what Western nations think and that is why they have hung out in the IWC for so long.

    So why are they doing it? Men, often with not too good employment situations with knives, stabbing people in public places.

    1) I think that "temmporary worker" is very relevant (apparently he was also under the impression that he was to be laid off). 2) He was of below average…

    I think that Kenji was refering to the Summer Olympics, which were held 4 times in the US and once in Japan. The winter olympics were also held four times in the US and twice in Japan. France and the UK will have held the summer olympics 3 times each.…

    Sorry. I take that back.

    An article in Japanese at jiji.com claims that Mr. Ito was trying to encourage the female tiger (outside) to come into the empty (he was in it?) west side bedroom, when the male (Victor?) tiger came out of the east side bedroom.

    At least (according…

    According to the Asahi in Japanese,

    According to the police autopsy, Mr. Ito died from a broken neck. The tiger attacked him in one bedroom/cage and dragged him to the other. He would have passed away in the initial attack or at least prior to being seen, I presume. There…
