Japan disaster: Hold that thought

There are a wealth of absurdities coming out about Japan right now. If we make it through in one piece, will start posting here again. Feel free to continue e-mailing, RTing absurdities my way, just that right now got enough real life absurdity to deal with.

Person trapped under sofa

A confused resident called out fire crews after mistakenly thinking there was someone trapped under his sofa.

Here's a woefully good/brilliantly awful graphic from Japan's NHK - (think BBC with no budget) about political realignment in the Japanese parliament. I think. At least they used a computer and not a pair of scissors. I think.
