Would-be thief breaks into Sumo House
Yes, there are stupid people in Japan too. Here's proof:
On March 31, at 2:35 am, would-be thief Konoshin Kawabata broke into a temple. He failed to notice the notice posted on the temple door indicating that it was being used as a sumo training facilty. When he entered the temple, he awoke the slumbering wrestlers in the neighboring room. The lights came on and 48-year-old Kawabata found himself encircled by 20 sumo wrestlers. After 35-year-old Dewanosato applied one of his Sumo "waza" (techniques), disabling Mr. Kawabata, another sumo called the police.
Dewanosato had a 2-win/5-loss record. This morning marked his 3rd win.
If you can read Japanese, you can see the original story here.

Hmmmm, this could be entertaining... how about a game show where skinny martial arts-types go up against sumo guys: no holds barred?
...better yet, add a regulation-height basketball hoop (of appropriate girth), and if the sumo guy is able to make the basket with the skinny guy, he wins!
Look, a 3-pointer!

It could've been worse... he could have broken into a house full of ninjas.
;-P
Hi there!
I found your blog throw a blogfriend. And I loved it. I have a blog in portuguese that I "colect" the best posts on the net. I would like to know if you mind if I publish one of yours. My propose is helping some blogs to increase the numbers of readers.
I indicate the link and the author, dont worry.
This seems like potential for a good hidden camera show. Someone tries to commit a crime when suddenly angry sumo wrestlers appear on all sides.
On another note, I just found your blog through StumbleUpon.
