Now that I think about it, I don't even think I listened to the news story very well--on top of that I did no research, so I'm totally in the wrong here. I suppose I'll have to go back and rewrite a bit. Thanks for your feedback! Kai:

Commenter japon says that's not quite right, since "Huck" is the student group's name. You apparently agree, and add: > Anyone who wants to know the real story can read this. Well ok, but it's in Japanese. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.narinari.com%2FNd%2F2007097906.html&langpair=ja%7Cen There is a mention of the "Nagoya large adventure circle “Huckleberry Finn (the huckleberry fin)”" More in English here: http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/20070915TDY03003.htm So your post would be just as good and funny and educational, even better, if you corrected your mistake (not everyone reads comments, or Japanese) and gave us the real story behind "HUCK". Otherwise it plays a little too much to foreigners' smug sense that the Japanese are too silly to know the difference. Great story, but a little misleading.
