Jet coaster?

An All Nippon Airways jetliner briefly flew almost belly up when it nosedived off Shizuoka Prefecture en route to Tokyo early this morning, the Japan Transport Safety Board said Wednesday.


Flight 140 from Naha, Okinawa, with 117 crew and passengers aboard, managed to land at Haneda airport in Tokyo despite dropping around 1,900 meters from a height of about 12,500 meters in 30 seconds.



Two flight attendants were slightly hurt, while six passengers later complained of feeling unwell.


The narrow-body aircraft continued to roll until it reached 131.7 degrees to the left, leaving it almost belly up, according to the board.

Luckily, such maneuver acrobatics didn't become serious.



Aren't pilots permitted even to go to the bathroom while they are flying...?

Teenage girl dies in "exorcism"

A 13-year-old girl suffocated after she was strapped down and doused with water by her father and a monk who were trying to expel an "evil spirit".


The two men are suspected of having conspired in what they call "water service".


They allegedly strapped the victim to a chair with belts and poured water over her as an "exorcism" with the father holding the girl down whil the monk chanted sutras.

I think it was not an exorcism but a torture.


Japan adopts the freedom of religion, but human life should never be trifled with.

D-jay

My lunch at a Thai restaurant called "D-jay" in front of Royal Pines Hotel fascinated me.

I ordered red&green curry and tom yam kung noodles.


The genuine Thai foods were hot and spicy.


Please try it!!

AKB48 2nd Janken Tournament

AKB48's 2nd Senbatsu Janken Taikai was held yesterday night, determining the participating members for the groups 24th single, scheduled for release on December 7th.


In the end of the tournament, 25-year-old Mariko Shinoda emerged as a champion, securing the center position for the single.

Mariko Sinoda has already been so popular and so active in show business that she might have less greed for the center position.


Good luck is coming to such people.


That's how it goes.

Longest Fingernail

Professional singer Chris Walton, who has a combined total of nearly 20 feet(= 6 meters) of nails, celebrated in New York after being named in the newly released 2012 edition of the "Guinnes Book of Records".

Walton, who sings in Vegas and goes by the stage name "The Dutchess", has been growing her nails for 18 years.


She does her own makeup and household chores despite the challenges posed by her extremely long nails.


"I hate all the cleaning, but I do it. And the makeup, I only wear so much," said Ms. Walton.


Guinness spokesman Stuart Claxton said that Ms. Waltton was a "unique beauty."






Anyway, how does she manage herself in the toilet after doing her business...?
