Party Guest: Oh,but really biting satire is always better than physical force. Isaac Davis: No,physical force is always better with Nazis. Insults or bats or both?

The opinion of the late Emperor Hirohito is fascinating http://fw.to/0wjthlS

In Nagano Prefecture – it was a quiet Friday afternoon. The earthquake hit but it didn’t FEEL like an earthquake – it seemed like I was on the deck of a ship during a moderate swell. Forceful moving from side to side but no violent shaking. I immediately felt this was indicative of something more serious – how I wish I had been 100% wrong.

Fully expect these packages were "Kuroneko Mail-Bin" items which don't require a name-stamp for delivery. I get about a dozen every week - all freebie magazines and shopping catalogues. If they suddenly stopped I would notice - and then breath a sigh of relief.

In no way do I claim to know anything particularly relevant about baseball, nevertheless I found myself wondering why - in the top of the 10th inning with one out in a tied game - the Eagles had their pitcher on 2nd base and an injured batter on 1st base. Was this some sort of super secret strategy? It worked so it MUST have been the right thing to do.

The teacher's actions were unprofessional and totally inappropriate. I don't care what others 'suffered' in the past, it's 2013 now and children are treated differently. For forgetting something that students should 'always' carry - one demerit. For forgetting something they were reminded NOT to forget - two demerits. Three demerits in a week (or four over two weeks) = detention. Detention to be held after school hours and children must be brought to and picked up afterwards by a parent or guardian. That way there's no confusion about parents being unaware of their child's behavior.

The average rate of road traffic fatalities in Japan is 34 a day.
