Meanwhile On A Remote Mountain On Mindanao

Just wait until they get those two octogenarian remnants of the Japanese Imperial Army out of the remote mountains of Mindanao. All those years fighting a war that ended in 1945 has got to be worth a few yen in back pay and military pension.

Yoshio Yamakawa, 87, from Osaka, and Tsuzuki Nakauchi, 83, from Kochi shouldn't lay down their weapons, they should auction what's left of them on eBay.

Meanwhile Somewhere In Tokyo

Tokyo doesn't seem to be too sympathetic when it comes to compensation claims.

A 47 year old man's claim that he had been handed over to the wrong parents after his birth at a Tokyo hospital was upheld on Friday by the District Court. It rejected his claim for 300 million yen (27,776 US) in compensation.

He says he doesn't look like anyone else in his family and blood and DNA tests have proved that he isn't related biologically to his parents. Chances are they got the test results mixed up too. Now if he could prove that one of the guys from the remote mountains of Mindanao was his biological father....

Competition

Can anyone guess who owns these feet?

Currently listening to "I'll walk Alone" by Anne Shelton and the Ambrose Orchestra - Don't even think about it - it's dire.
