Trapped comments

It turns out her husband was hospitalised last year and placed in a coma after becoming very ill. She's clearly tried this before.

"Police said they are questioning the victim about any possible reason why her acquaintance stabbed her."

I feel doubly sorry for her having to endure both the stabbing and the J cop inquisition.

0.019grams? That sounds like half a seed. You know you can buy hemp seeds to feed your budgie with? Maybe some spec of a leaf had blown through his window and landed in his dorm. The 'stimulants' on the other hand? Not cool.

At least the clerk didn't let him leave the store then call the cops claiming that the customer had stolen the beer. No receipt to prove his purchase.

Those Taipans have had a lot of issues. R.I.P.

They'll get their comeuppance in prison. Oh, hang on...

Dr Maybe, you nailed it!

^^^yes but they have been beyond the reach of many creative minded companies. Perhaps this will allow some amazing innovations to be achieved. Kudos to Michelin Japan I say.

This is great news! We can now stop wasting valuable land farming non-THC mullies. Bring on the psycho-buds!

How about no release at all and make TEPCO pay for the more expensive non release option!

"And what would that option be? Building more tanks is not an option, the towns of Okuma and Futaba won't have any of that."

Sacrifice those two towns in order to spare the health of the worlds' oceans to be on the safe side.

One wonders where Roy lives. And What he eats. And what his extracurricular activities are.

Then you should know that Japan is a haven for stolen and looted works.

Shame on you Japan.

If only swimming schools in Japan focused on teaching kids to swim instead of just taking in as much money as possible for as long as possible...

The old phrase I've heard about climbing Mt.Fuji: You're mad if you don't climb it once and crazy if you climb it twice. I'll just look at the pictures, thanks.

@ garypen

We wish that were true...

^^^ and it wouldn't be so bad if these homes were near efficient public transportation, but they often aren't which creates traffic problems for a great many people .

Nice try, but if it isn't never ending soba, it's not wanko soba. Simple.

It tastes great! My family have gone off pork sausages after being introduced to 'roo.

Perhaps it was because he was a keen 25 year old specialist policeman who realised that he was guarding a non-present person.

It's pleasing to see that the fishing co-ops will be supported, but how about the tourism industry? Recreational fishermen, surfers, summer beach goers, etc will be less willing to frequent the East Coast at substantial loss to local eateries and lodges. Plus the mental pressure put upon those recreational users. Perhaps free wave machines and fishing parks are in order.

-$161 billion USD... could be worse, but still, ouch.

Nomination- rainy days.

I can't help thinking that I'd rather my brother shot me than stomped on my face.

Interestingly, a neon horse is also on show. Bazashi, anyone? Yum. Now, how about lamb, goat, kangaroo...?

Indigo, I so hope you're wrong.

More crazy Kim 'retributions' in 3...2...

What an inspiration. I'd like to call him into a few set waves. Might have to hunt him down for a session.

"Putrid smell" my armpit. Next you'll be telling us that kusaya has an unpleasantness to it.

Get it in ya!

I concur, and the down voters only reinforce the sentiment.

Situation #1: Found a purse in Kawagoe, handed it in to police, got reamed for hours in the koban, the owner was contacted and verified that all was accounted for, the citizen offered to reward me but didn't.

Situation #2: found cash on the street (forget how much now), basically knew who it belonged to but handed it in to koban to surprised coppers. After 6 months was sent a notice to come and collect unclaimed monies.

'Tis indeed an interesting country.

Nice nit picking, Awa.

So, will this release be announced prior to or after the fact? When should the surfing fraternity refrain from their lifestyle of healthy pursuit?
