Economics jokes anybody?

SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don’t know where they are. You break for lunch.
A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them World-Wide.A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

If anyone is interested in a bit about the history of dejima, there’s a really good book called “The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet” set there, by David Mitchell (I think). I really enjoyed it :)

How would a pilot “falls asleep at the wheel”? If I’m going in for a landing, I’d probably be wide awake.

… That is, unless a ninja shot me with a tranquilizer dart.

In the film “Pikanchi Life is Hard Dakara Happy” starred by Arashi boy band`s members, the main characters live in one of those fake islands and going into the “real” Japan is seen almost as traveling to a foreign country… hehehe… kind of funny XD!.

Americans probably would’ve cut the mountains into giant spiral ziggurat shapes and built on the newly level (or, at least, much less steep than previously) places. But hey, whatever works.
