Today's Japanese History Lesson

Thank God.  Just yesterday, most weather forecasters over here were saying that this thing was supposed to come and shellac us.  However, the kamikaze appear to have stepped up and once again steered an unstoppable invasive force away from Japan.  And no, I'm not referring to the suicide pilots of the World War II era.  One of them couldn't hold a candle to a super-typhoon.  Kamikaze literally translates as 'spirit wind' but in practice actually means something more along the lines of 'Great Wind' or 'divine wind' and refers to the whipping winds across the Sea of Japan that, way back in the 13th or 14th century, prevented the Mongols from successfully invading Japan.  Now they've progressed to the more important task of steering typhoons towards China.  And not that I have anything against the Chinese or wish any ill upon them.  It's just that I don't want to deal with another typhoon or have my flight to Bangkok delayed (or crash during takeoff) due to driving rains and blistering winds.  So good luck China.  Next time, try building a giant sea wall.
