I have admired the Japanese queues and orderly panic-stricken 'traffic jams'.

I think Mono's probably right and I'd say it's probably the cohesion and sense of togethernes, that people have said has held Japan's economy back, that's helped and will help in their response.

The Earthquake situation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage. :(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

What a commuter's paradise. :weep:
It's also considered good manners to feel up any women you're squashed next to. :)

Not really good manners, but it's not that unusual for attractive women to get pelvic exams during rush hour.

You've never heard about this?

BBC reports Anime convention canceled. At least one good thing happened in this shitstorm.

Too bad the convention didn't get a killing dose of rads and nobody else.

People rarely go to the police over anything short of murder/grand larceny. You're supposed to suffer in silence and fix your own problems.

I thought even Slargos had conceded that his was a boring a stupid schtick that needed replacing.  Why is he posting more epic fail when even he knows better, and why are people responding to it when even they know better?

Yes, and more boring as it progresses.  there are a few flashes of amusing petulance, but that's about it.
