News From The Big Rice Bowl 2010/07/01

Here is a little Rice Bowl News for you to chew as I enjoy my lunch. Happy Canada Day!!!

Anything for a princess...

A weekly magazine claimed the Imperial Household Agency asked administrators at Princess Aiko's elementary school to supplement the school meals with ADD medication in order to calm down "unruly" boys who were scaring the little princess. The agency denied the story and demanded an apology and a correction.

You're kidding, right?...

A man walked into a koban (local police box) in Itabashi with a kitchen knife and tried to make the officer on duty hand over his gun so he could rob a bank. The cop used his nightstick to knock the knife out of the perpetrator's hand and then arrested him.

And here's one from my old stomping ground...

A 61-year-old man in Kanazawa o trial for using a stolen bank card to withdraw cash from an ATM was xonerated in a case of mistaken identity. ALthough the man bore a remarkable resemblance to the culprit, who was caught on a surveillance tape, he was freed after the police lab "determined that the defendant and the man on the tape were different based on the shape of their ears."

Have a great week. I love you!
