Honestly speaking, I know he is a Peeping Tom.
Probably, it was he that was peeping at >>97's room last night.
And he found that >>97's room is so messy as to be called "gomiyasiki". lol

>>100
OMG what a shame yeah I'm living in a huge trash can!
You must be that peeper.

It was just my guess.
There is a saying that "otokoyamome ni uji ga waku (onnayamome ni hana ga saku)".
As the saying goes, men's room are generally untidy.

By the way, I know a lot of Japanese fairy tales which were translated
into English.
Because I memorized them as a means of improving my English.
So if you let me,I'd like to tell you about one of them, which is "tsuru no ongaeshi".

Long long ago, in a small village, there lived a young man who was poorbut had a kind heart.
One winter morning, he went into town to sell the firewood he had gathered in the mountains.
Along the way, he found a crane that was suffering, because it was stuck in a trap, in a rice field.
The man felt sorry for the crane and set it free from the trap.
When he did so, the crane flew around the man's head several times, crying happily and then
it flew away into the distant sky.
to be continued.

Hopefully no one shot the crane.

That evening it began to snow, and by night, the snow was very deep.
" knock, knock"... came the sound of someone knocking on the front door.
When the man strained to hear, he heard the voice of a young woman, saying,
" Is anyone home? Please open the door." The man open the door, and there was
a young woman standing there whose head and clothes were all white with snow.

to be continued

>>104
If you were in the young man's shoes, you must have shot the crane on the spot.
And then, plucking all the feathers from the crane in order to cook it "yakitori".

Wow, I made a terrible mistake, but I don't want to correct it at all.

"I came to visit someone, but I've gotten lost." the woman said.
" It's snowing, and night has fallen. With much effort, I've managed to come this far.
Please kindly let me stay for the night." she asked.
The man replied, "Oh, dear, you're in trouble. If a place like this is all right with you,
do stay." and he graciously invited the young woman in.
The two had dinner together, and then, warmed by the fire in the fireplace, they fell asleep.

The next morning, when the young man awoke, the woman had already gotten up.
"In appreciation for your letting me spend the night, I've woven a roll of cloth for you.
If you take it to town, I think you can fetch a high price for it," said the woman.
And she held out a roll of cloth that was light as a feather and more beautiful
than anything the man had ever seen.
The man took it to town, and indeed, he was able to sell it for an incredibly high price.

The man and the woman lived well for a while on the money that the man received
for the roll of cloth.
But soon the money ran out, and the man asked the woman, "Could you weave us another
roll of cloth?"
The woman answered, "OK,I'll do it. But you absolutely mustn't look at me when I am
weaving the cloth."
And with that, she shut herself up in the room with the weaving loom.

The next morning, when the young woman came out of the room, she was holding
another magnificent roll of cloth like the first one.
The man took it to town, and he was able to sell it at an even higher price
than before.

English is beautifulとはいい言葉ですね！

im to lazy to read all this i would just like to says japanese is coo.

>4chan for ever!!!

Engrish OK,yeah!!

As they continued leading a comfortable life, though, the man began to wonder about the fact
that the woman shut herself up in the room to do her weaving.
" I wonder how on earth she makes such wonderful fablic. I'll just take a little peek," thought
the young man, and he peeked through the cracks of the sliding door into the room where the woman
was weaving.

When he did, it was not the woman there, but none other than a thin, frail crane.
The crane was plucking its own feathers with its long beak, and inserting them into the weaving loom,
and weaving the roll of cloth.
"It's the crane!" cried the man with surprise.

The next morning when the woman handed the roll of cloth to the man, she said,
" I am the crane that you helped one time. I wanted to return the favor, so I transformed
myself into a woman and have lived with you until today. But you have found out that
I am a crane. Now, I must say goodbye. I wish you well."

No sooner had she said this than the young woman changed in a flash into a crane, and soared
up to the sky. The man chased after her with all his might, but the crane, crying sadly,
flew off over the mountains.
the end

I've just finished wriring all of the parts of the story titled "tsuru no ongaeshi."
Now I feel like as if I, for myself, created this with my originality. lol
I think some Japanese fair tales have this kind of story patterns, that is aminals changed
themselves into humans.
In my opinion, this is derived from a basical idea in Buddhism called "rinne tensyou"

fair→fairy basical→basic

English is a niceな言葉　！！

Veteran pitcher Kuwata ends baseball career

Kuwata Masumi, one of the top pitchers in Jananese baseball history and a major leaguer
for the first time last season at age 39, finished his playing career on March 26.
Kuwata, who turned 40 on April 1, had a 1.80 ERA in five innings this spring, but had not
pitched since March 18.
When it became clear that he would not make the Pirates' opening-day roster, he chose to
retire rather than start the season at Triple-A Indianapolis.
"I wanted to try one more time," Kuwata said. " I thought I was pitching with good results.
But my heart was telling me it was time to retire."
Kuwata signed a minor league deal with the Pirates last year. He injured an ankle during a
sping training game and stayed in extended spring camp for weeks, but was subsequently promoted
from AAA Indianapolis.
He made his major league debut at Yankee Stadium on June 9 and was 0-1 with a 9.43 ERA in 19 games
before being taken off the roster.
"I still cannot believe I pitched in Yankee Stadium," he said.

Kuwata is not beautiful.

As you said, I also think his appearance is not so good as to have his face drawn like a man filled with moles by Yaku Mitsuru.
But otherwise, I regard him as a nice guy, so that if you say bad things about him,I'll give you deadly blows to the head. lol

Government press tour backfires in Tibet

LHASA, China
A government-managed visit by foreign reporters to Tibet's capital backfired on March 27
when Buddhist monks disrupted the tour, screaming that there was no religious freedom and that
the Dalai Lama waws not to blame for Lhasa's recent violence.
The government had arranged the trip for the reporters to show how calm Lhasa was after the deadly
riots shattered China's plans for a peaceful run-up to the Beijing Olympics.
The outburst by a group of 30 monks came as the journalists, including an Associated Press reporter,
were being shown around the Jokhang Temple-one of Tibet's holiest shrines-by government handlers in Lhasa.
"Tibet is not free! Tibet is not free! yelled one young Buddhist monk, who then started to cry.
They also said their exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, had nothing to do with recent anti-government riots
by Tibetans in Lhasa, where buildings were torched and looted, and
ethnic Han Chinese were attacked.

Family of slain British woman makes public appeal

The family of a British woman killed a year ago in Japan appealed to police
and the pubic on March 24 for help in finding her suspected killer.
The body of Lindsay Hawker, 22, was found bound with tape and hal-buried in a sand-filled
bath tub on the balcony of an apartment in Ichikawa,Chiba Prefecture, exactly a year ago.
She was an English teacher at a private language school.
The prime suspect, Ichihashi Tatsuya, has been on the run since the body was found at his apartment.
"She came to this country to teach, not to be murdered," her father, Bill Hawker, told a news conference,
holding a photograph of his daughter.
Then victim's elder sister, Lisa, said in a message in Japanese to the wanted man; "You've taken a precious
life and destroyed many more. You've taken away my sister, who was my best friend, and broken our hearts.
Ichihashi, please atone for your crime."

Anti-China protest mars torch-lighting ceremony

ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece
(AP)- Even before the Olympic flame was lit on March 24, a protester of China's human rights
policies disrupted the solemn ceremony, foreshadowing the prospect of demonstrations throughtout
the 85,000-mile torch-relay route right up to the Beijing Games themselves.
Forecasts of clouds and rain had been considered the main threat to the pomp-filled torch-lighting
. But in the end, while the sun sparked the flame to life, it was the protesters who turned the
joyful bow to the Olympic's roots into a political statement about China's crackdown in Tibet and
other rights issues.
Three men advocating press freedom evaded massive security and ran onto the field at the ceremony
in Ancient Olympia before they were seized by police.
Minites later, a Tibetan woman covered in fake blood briefly blocked the path of the torch relay.
The incidents came after International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge told The Associated
Press in an interview that he was engaged in "silent diplomacy" with the Chinese but wouldn't intervene
in politics to try to change their policies.

Young Helen Keller's rare photo found
BOSTON(AP)- Researchers have uncovered a rare photograph of a young Helen Keller with her teacher
Anne Sullivan, nearly 120 years after it was taken on Cape Cod.
The photograph, shot in July 1888 in Brewster, shows an 8-year-old Helen sitting outside in a light-colored
dress, holding Sullivan's hand and cradling onr of her beloved dolls.
Experts on Keller's life believe it could be the earliest photo of the two wowen together and the only one
showing the blind and deaf child with a doll-the first word Sullivan spelled for Keller after they met in 1887-
according to the New England Historic Genea logical Society, which now has the photo.
"It's really one of the best images I've seen in a long, long time," said Helen Selsdon, an archivist at the American
Foundation for the Blind, where Keller worked for more than 40 years.
"This is just a huge visual addition to the history of Helen and Annie."

Osaka orangutan makes formal debut as artist

OSAKA- Satsuki, a 38-year-old orangutan from Osaka's Tennoji Zoo made her formal debut
as an artist with an exhibition featuring her works at the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art
on March 4.
The exhibition, entitled" 2008 Zero," will feature 10 drawings and other artistic creations
Satsuki has come out with since 2006.
Satsuki, who is the equivalent of about 60 years in human tears, was once captured by poachers but
was rescued and arrived at Tennoji Zoo in 1973.
She is filled with a sense of curiosity and when she was given a crayon and showed how to use it one day,
she began drawing pictures by herself.
She is typically presented with nine different colored crayons from which she will select one and use that
to create a picture.
Normally, Satsuki will draw four or five pictures in a roughly 30-minute period several times a month.
If she finds a picture she likes, she will often gaze at it for a while and smell it.

Japanease is the easiest language in the world .
The languages of any kind of other countries have syllables more than 400 .
However , the Japanease is 50 syllables basically .
This means that Japanease pronunciation is easy most in the world .
in addition , it seems to be difficult to learn , because there are hiragana , katakana , kanji in Japanease .
But it is not necessary to use the kanji forcibly .
If you know even hiragana , You can read and write Japanease .
In fact Japanease female high school students can read and write only by hiragana .
This is the reason why Japanease is the world's easiest !

Snow White

chapter 1

Long, long ago there lived a king and queen in a castle. The two did not have any children,
so the queen spent her days wery lonely. One winter day, as the queen was watching the fluttering snow
, she prayed, "God,please be so kind as to bless us with a clild whose skin is white like this snow."

After a while, as if that wish had come true, an adorable princess was born with skin as white as anow.
The king and queen were very, very happy, and they named the little princess Snow White.
Unfortunately, right after Snow White was born, the queen became sick and died.

After about a year had passed, the king welcomed a new queen. As it turned out, though, the new queen
was extremely vain. She had to be the most beautiful person in the world or she couldn't stand it.
In order to make sure that she was the most beautiful, the queen had a strange magic mirror. When the queen
asked the mirror," Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" the mirror always replied,
" You, my queen, are the fairest of them all." The queen always felt relieved when she heard that.

>>127
Are you a sadist?

chapter 2 One day, the queen went to her mirror and asked as she always did," Mirror, mirror,
on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" When she did, the miroor replied, "Snow white is
the fairest of them all." Show White had grown up by then and had become more beautiful than the queen
as the years went by. When she heard this, the queen was furious and hated Snow White from the bottom of
her heart. So she ordered one of her servants," Take Snow White into the forest and kill her."

Of course the servant was reluctant to kill the beautiful Snow White. But since it was an order from the
queen, he had no chice.
He led Snow White into the forest. But he was about to stab her chest with his sword, Snow White begged him,
crying,"Please help me. If you do, I will go deep into the woods and never return to the castle again."
The servant felt sorry for the princess. "Go quickly," he said, and he set her free.

Chapter 3

Left alone on the middle of the big forest, Snow White was so lopnely she couldn't stand it.
Nevertheless, she kept going deeper and deeper into the forest.
Then, when it was starting to get dark around her, she finally found a small house. Snow White
was all worn out and thought she'd have a rest there, so she went on inside.
In the house, there was a table, and on that table, there were seven servings of soup and bread.
Against the wall, there were seven little beds.
Snow White was hungry, so she took just a little soup and bread from each place and ate it.
Then, she lay down on the bed and went stragiht to sleep.

Chapter 4

When the sun went down and it got completely dark, the seven dwarves who lived in the house came home.
"Hey, who is this girl?" they asked. As they were talking excitedly among themselves, Snow White woke up.
"Miss why are you here?" the dwarves asked, so Snow White explain to them what had happened.
"Oh, that's terrible," they exclaimed.
"If you like, you can stay here with us," the dwarves suggested. So Snow White decided to live there together
with the dwarves.

Chapter 5

The queen, who knew nothing about all this, went to her mirror again and asked,
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" When she did, the
mirror replied, "Snow White, who is in the home of the seven dwarves, is the fairest
of them all." When the queen heard that, she was shocked and flew into a rage.
"I'll kill Snow White this time for sure," thought the queen, and she disguised herself as
an old woman and set off for the home of the seven dwarves carrying an apple covered with poison.

When the queen arrived at the home of the seven dwarves, she called out to Snow White, who was home alone,
"Miss, I have a delicious apple for you." She held out the poison apple. Snow White, who was very innocent, replied,
"Thank you, old woman," and took a bite of the apple.
And then, in that very instant, Snow White fell to the ground and died. Upon seeing that, the queen said,"And now I become
the most beautiful in the world!" And she returned happily to the castle.

In the evening, the dwarves came home. They saw Snow White lying on the ground and tried with all their might to care for her.
But at last, they were not able to revive her. The grieving dwarves decided to place Snow White's body into a glass coffin and
to watch over it at all times.

Chapter 6

One day, a prince was passing through the forest, and he came upon the place where Snow White's coffin stood.
When the prince saw the beautiful princess lying inside the glass coffin, he said to the dwarves,"Won't you give
the body to me?" Please let me be the one to take care of this beautiful princess."
The gentle dwarves decided to give the coffin with Snow White's body in it to the prince.

The prince told his servents to put the coffin on their shoulders and carry it to the castle.
But at the moment that they picked the coffin up, one of the servents staggered, and the coffin
shook strongly. When that happened, the poison apple that had been stuck in Snow White's throat
popped out in that very instant.
Snow White's lovely eyes opened up bright and clear, and she came back to life.

Seeing this, the prince and the dwarves were happier than words can express. The prince then asked
Snow White to marry him. "Please come with me to my castle and be my bride," he said.
So the two returned to the castle, where they held a magnificent wedding ceremony and lived
happier ever after.

MSDF destroyer smashes fishing boat in half

Toshiba announces withdrawal from HD DVD business

Toshiba said on Feb. 19 it will no longer develop, make or market HD DVD players and recorders, handing a victory
to rival Blu-ray disc technology in the format battle for next-generation video.
"We concluded that a swift decision would be best," Toshiba President Nishida Atsutoshi told reporters at his company's
Tokyo office.
The move would make Blu-ray-backed by Sony Corp., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., which makes Panasonic brand products,
and three major Hollywood movie studios-the winner in the battle over high-definition DVD formatting that began several years ago.
Nishida said last month's decision by Warner Bros. Entertainment to release movie discs only in the Blu-ray format made the move inevitable, although
his company had confidence in HD DVD as a technology.
"That had tremendous impact," he said. "If we had continued, that would have created problems for consumers, and we simply had no chance to win."
Warner joined Sony Pictures,Walt Disney Co. and News corp's Twentieth Century Fox in that move.
Nishida tried to assure the estimated million people in the world who already had bought HD DVD machines by promising that the company will provide continued
product support for HD DVD.
Toshiba Corp. asid shipments of HD DVD machines to retailers will be reduced and stop by the end of March.

Welcome to this episode of the American tour series!
We are visiting one of the oldest cities on the West Coast, San Francisco.
This beautiful area offers many wonderful places to visit. Let's go!

Although California is famous for its year-round warm weather, San Francisco is situated in the north
of the state and can be cold, foggy, and windy even in the summer.
The city is famous for its steep hills, but if you get tired of walking, you can use San Francisco's excellent local
public transportation system any time of day.
The city is a marvelous fusion of old Victorian neigherhoods, spectacular bays, diverse communities, and a politically liberal culture-
a legacy from the days of hippies and beatniks.

From the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevadas, sixteen rivers flow into San Francisco Bay.
The scenic coastline is a major attraction and a center for commerce.

San Francisco's most widely recognized structure, the Golden Gate Bridge, was completed in 1937.
This glorious bridge, one of five that cross the bay, has become the symbol of San Francisco.
Its construction was a four-year struggle against wind, tides, and fog.
Connecting San Francisco and Marin County, the Golden Gate is 1.7 miles, or 2.7 kilometers long, and is painted a bright color
fancifully known as international orange for better visibility in the famous fogs.
A masterpiece of design and engineering, this bridge can withstand winds up to one hundred miles per hour and bear a daily load of
100,000 cars. Each cable is more than three feet in diameter, and the combined length of the strands could encircle the earth three times!
The concrete poured into its piers and anchorages could pave a 5-foot-wide path from New York to San Francisco.
A stroll on the pedestrian sidewalk, open 5 A.M. to 9 P.M. is called "the walk of the all walks."

The less famous Bay Bridge opened in 1936, six months before the Golden Gate.
It connects San Francisco with Oakland.
Whimsical strands of lights were added in 1986 to commemorate its fiftieth anniversary.

Let's take the ferry to cruise the bay.

One of the bay's main attractions is Alcatraz island, which served as a military fortification
in the 1850s and as an incarceration facility during the Spanish-American War in 1898.
Between 1934 and 1963, Alcatraz functioned as a maximum-security federal penitentiary, housing Mafia criminals

Google attacks Microsoft over Yahoo deal.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)- Google Inc. raised the specter of Micosoft Corp. usig its proposed $42 billion acquisition
of Yahoo Inc. to gain illegal control over the Internet, underscoring the online search leader's queasiness about its two
biggest rivals teaming up.
The critical remarks, posted online on Feb.3 by Google's top lawyer, represented the company's first public reaction to Microsoft's
unsolicited bid for Yahoo since the offer was announced on Feb.1.
"Microsoft's hostile bid for Yahoo raises troubling questions," David Drummond, Google's chief legal officer, wrote.
"This is about more than simply a financial transaction, one company taking over another. It's about preseving the underlying principles
of the Internet: openness and innovation."
Google's opposition isn't a surprise, given that Microsoft views Yahoo as a crucial weapon in its battle to gain ground on Google in the
Internet's booming search and advertising markets.
According to a report on The wall Street Journal's Web site on Feb.3, Google Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt called Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang
on Feb.1 to offer his help in repelling Microsoft.

kill herself at a train station in Tokyo has been made the subject of a picture book.
