Posted in: Man arrested after elbowing commuter on Tokyo subway See in context

"...on suspicion of assaulting a man in his 30s who was sitting next to him in a subway car."

How dare that anyone should sit next to his Highness! His bag had been deliberately placed in that seat (overhead baggage shelf was empty, of course)...

Designated hitter? The player marketed and sold himself as a pitcher; the Dodgers have bought 'a pig in a poke', haven't they...

Posted in: Sumo great Hakuho could lose stable over protege's bullying: reports See in context

Tried, judged and punished all in total secrecy. Where are the wrestlers making the accusations of bullying? Perhaps they had a personal grudge against their boss. It really smells of a vendetta by the JSA...

Posted in: How global warming is reshaping winter life in Canada See in context

Outdoor ice skating is a highly visible and easily-identifiable effect; much more obvious than poverty or extinction. No doubt the Canadian government threw unlimited taxpayer funding at Concordia University to underwrite this 'research'.

And strangely enough, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is flirting with the same 40,000 benchmark! The only difference being the DJIA is not denominated in dollars; while the Japanese media always report the Nikkei 225 index in units of Yen and Sen...

"+ an overly sensitive, thin-skinned ‘educator’ = bad behaviour by all."

Admittedly have arrived late to the party; but SHOULD 'Educators' necessarily by definition, BE THICK-SKINNED?

A phrase used by a Roman writer to deplore the declining heroism of Romans after the Roman Republic ceased to exist and the Roman Empire began: “Two things only the people anxiously desire — bread and circuses.”

"...meaning a relatively less isolation throughout the year."

I disagree (irrespective of the broken syntax). The coastal location of the City of Yokohama has no bearing on its (supposed) isolation...A very superficial and facile article.

Posted in: Man's 18-year sentence upheld for 2017 Japan highway road rage deaths See in context

The incident began when the road-rager parked his car in front of the toilets at the service area, for the convenience of himself and his girlfriend. The (now deceased) victim happened along, and cautioned him not to park in the No Parking zone... Now he has declared that he is "going to wait 18 years for the judge", but is the girlfriend going to wait?
