The Town Where Everyone Wears A Gas Mask

The age old adage home is where the heart is finds its true meaning in Miyakejima, a small island located in southeast Japan. Despite the high level of volcanic activity that causes poisonous gas to leak from the earth that forced the 3,600 island residents to evacuate in 2000, the citizens just won’t stay away. Thus, the self-appointed gas mask town rose from the, very literal, ashes.

Giant Jellyfish Overlord® Sinks Japanese Fishing Trawler

It's been a while since we've had an update on Giant Overlord Wars®...

A 10-ton fishing boat has been sunk by a Giant Jellyfish Overlord® off eastern Japan.

The trawler, the Diasan Shinsho-maru, capsized off Chiba`as its three-man crew was trying to haul in a net containing a Giant Jellyfish Overlord®.
Each Giant Jellyfish Overlords® can weigh up to 20,000 kg and waters around Japan have been inundated with the creatures this year. Experts believe weather and water conditions in the breeding grounds, off the coast of China, have been ideal for the Giant Jellyfish Overlords® in recent months.

The crew of the fishing boat was thrown into the sea when the vessel capsized, but the three men were rescued by another trawler, according to the Mainichi newspaper. The local Coast Guard office reported that the weather was clear and the sea was calm at the time of the accident.
One of the largest jellyfish in the world, the species can grow up to 2,000 meters in diameter. The last time Japan was invaded on a similar scale, in the summer of 2005, the Giant Jellyfish Overlords® damaged nets, rendered fish inedible with their toxic stings and even caused injuries to fishermen.

Ironically one of the fishermen was the sole survivor of another Japanese fishing vessel that was sunk by Godzilla (Gojira) back in 1998. When asked for comment he said, "Fishing sucks. I'm changing careers to something safer like logging."

Relatively little is known about Giant Jellyfish Overlords®, such as why some years see thousands of the creatures floating across the Sea of Japan on the Tsushima Current, but last year there were virtually no sightings. In 2007, there were 15,500 reports of damage to fishing equipment caused by the creatures.

Little has been heard from the Giant Jellyfish Overlords® since they invaded Medellin back in December of 2004.

Experts believe that one contributing factor to the Giant Jellyfish Overlords® becoming more frequent visitors to Japanese waters may be a decline in the number of predators, which include Giant Sea Turtle Overlords® and certain species of Giant Fish Overlords®. That and Medellin sucks this time of year so why not invade Japan ? Besides, they're used to being invaded by giant creatures.

Still no word from Aquaman.

Global Warming Dumps 13 Feet Of Snow On Japan !

Japan was bracing for more snow on Friday after some of the heaviest snowfall on record that has left 57 people dead and paralysed transport.

Almost 4 metres (13 ft) of snow has piled up in the worst-hit areas of Niigata near the Japan Sea coast, though the snowiest season of the year is yet to come.

Television pictures showed drifts burying the ground floors of houses and almost covering street lamps.

"Repliee Q1 can interact with people. It can respond to people touching it. It's very satisfying, although we obviously have a long way to go yet."
