Kamikazees wear helmets so they can say they did you know? Did you know kamikazees get one last drink before they talk off, I think its because they need to be drunk to suicide.

Watch empire of the rising sun, its a funny movie based on a true event about a british kid being put into a japanese interment camp, not a mean lot the japanese any way, they were nice.

The funniest scene was when the kid got lost from his parent and found a squad of Jap soldiers and seeing that he raised his hands and said "I surrender! I surrender!" Of course the british dont know that the japanese speak japanese so the soldiers made fun of him saying "I surrender. I surrender." It was funny. Ja. Funny.

Notice how I now write with one space inbetween the period and next word, its because the damnable people think it would be funny to change the correct form from two spaces to one.

Also Einstein said the WW3 quote.

I heard some of them before
