Dead Gaijins

[Sa_Race]

Do you have more intel from japanese articles? Gomenasai nihongo wakarimasen. Was he living there? I wonder why the english news focus on the ear bleeding. May be the passer-by said something like "there's a dead guy in pieces and oh, he's bleeding from his ear".

[Coligny]

I am not buying it. I have witnessed someone fall from only 15m high on the concrete, I was the first on the scene, and I have seen what it did to his legs and head. You just don't "bleed from an ear" if you ever fall from a 6 story building. Trust me.

So either the report is far from complete -it would be ok, readers don't need to know his brain was all over the pavement like egg yolk- or the police is clueless.

In order to take a bit of a crap on my proposed method for ID'ing corpse by checking the pictures and confirm Sa_Race theory...

Here is what a corpse look like after a fall from around 2-3 stories from an overpass in a shopping center (or university can't remember well).

Warning: Picture of dead people on this link. With some gray mater splattered.

You just need to click on the CENSORED picture... Sorry, I should have told you that. Especially since this trick is a pain in zee pooper to implement on this forum... some forumz have a special kind of link to display pictures only if you click on a "spoiler" button.

Just didun't want to post gory pictures... Remember... for us Yuropeanz, pictures of nekkid people are not troublesome... Pictures of splattered brains and guts are a moderately big no-no...

sorry, should be fixed in all its gory by now...

Is this typical of JT to expire an article?

The requested article has expired, and is no longer available.

Yes. Their system was written by teenagers who don't understand proper indexing and storage compression.

Compare that with the NY Times. The entire history of that newspaper is available online.

Possibly written by teenagers but I think the key is that it is an AP article. I think they can only run wire material for a certain amount of time.

Yes, the entire history of mistaken historical facts, wrong-headed political and world-view editorials and endorsements and glaringly bone-headed economic articles in The New York Times are preserved for no one to read or hold them accountable for.

So specific to JapanToday only?

Here's the article cached.

Other online media still have it up verbatim.

Licensing terms. JT is probably too cheap to buy a license to host the articles longer term.

[Mike Oxlong]

It seem a lot of Japanese newspapers' online articles are only up for a few weeks or so.

It seem a lot of Japanese newspapers' online articles are only up for a few weeks or so.

It's getting worse. Since the Asahi relaunched their online site, many of the Japanese news articles are now only available in full if you subscribe.

This is Matt's sister: It has taken me all day to write these words...After three days, the search team did not find my brother. There are no other areas to search until the deep snow melts. My Dad and brother-in-law will be coming home early next week. This is incredibly hard on our family. As my Mom said, "Gods ways are higher than our ways." Thank you all for your prayers.

Just glad that search team came back safe...

Another one drunk in the snow?

AN Australian man died in the Japanese ski resort town of Niseko yesterday.

"Gods ways are higher than our ways."

I feel for the family and all but all the looney god quotes are getting annoying.

Leaving a bar drunk alone and walking through ice and snow to get home. Slip, fall, knock yourself out and freeze to death before anybody notices. Sad story for this guy.

This is why I drink at home.

The post Tsunami "Prey fro Japan" always triggered the same reply from me:

"You can thank your god, guys, but don't ask him for anything more, he fucked us up good enough to keep rescue teams busy for quite some time..."

"Prey on Japan" is much more fitting

...and before Taro chimes in, "Prey on, Japan" works as well.

Now, now, don't get angry because I called you out on your substandard contract job for JT. Lucene sort of works for .NET now.

...doesn't take much to get covered in snow up there either. Walking home drunk alone isn't a very good idea when on vacation in a foreign country though

Best one I saw was on a shirt at the gym. "Cheer up, Japan!"

That would basically mean no foreign travel for me. All I do when I'm on vacation is get drunk.
