Fish are dying.
This, in and of itself, is not entirely special, but the specific circumstances are. In one Japanese river in particular, 2 tons of dead fish (including 2,000 eels, if I read it correctly) have washed up in the past few days, and nobody seems to have a great explanation for this. News channels are running footage of men with nets in rowboats shoveling fish carcasses into styrofoam containers and scratching their heads.
In other news, the Iwate-Miyagi Earthquake tore mountains apart and caused massive landslides, blocking the flow of rivers and causing lakes to rapidly form, resulting in extensive flooding.
In Akihabara, a man drove a truck into a crowd of people. Armed with a knife, he then set upon the crowd, killing 10 and injuring more, including one police officer. Another cop attempted to stop him with his baton before apparently remembering that police are armed. He eventually drew his gun, at which point the attacker surrendered. Too little, too late, isn’t it?
I’m hearing an awful lot of talk about why things like this keep happening. Kids spend too much time on their cell phones. Video games are violent. We’re too reliant on technology.
As if disasters ever needed a reason to occur.
We don’t have ‘nature’ disasters here, yet. No earthquakes or typhoons no volcano eruptions or tsunami.
Is it sad that i want to live where the earth moves?
But then again we have a man killing a guy on broaddaylight at the station with an axe because he hates that the dutch government is involved in the Navo. We have trojan horses controlling the webcams of teenagers so pedophilles can secretly check them out.. mmh

You know what this means, don’t even act like you don’t. It means there’s a giant radioactive lizard living, growing, and feeding in and around the area. All the signs are there. It’s blatantly obvious.
