Ghostly ships filled with bodies arrive on Japan's shores
2015-12-02
[CNN] An unsettling mystery has washed up on Japan's shores.

Over the past two months, at least 12 wooden boats have been found in the Sea of Japan on or near the coast, carrying a chilling cargo -- the decaying bodies of 22 people, police and Japan's coasties said.

All the bodies were "partially skeletonized" -- two were found without heads -- and one boat contained six skulls, the coasties said. The first boat was found in October, then a series of boats were found in November.

#4  When I saw the headline, I thought this might have something to do with "Space Battleship Yamato".

#3  Hopefully Tokyo is having the bodies checked + triple-checked for any Bio-war or ChemWar agents.

Iff these NOKORS were indeed soldiers, its hard to believe they would NOT had undertaken serious planning as per their main andor alternate route(s) of navigation, + foodstuffies, etc.

Iff the cause be PIRATES [Yaaaaar!], its still not good as destroying Local, Regional pirates was one of the reasons Great All-Nippon Unifier #2 Toyotomi Hideyoshi + Boyz invaded Korea back in the day, inviting the wrath of Ming China but also backrupting same - NEW OVERSEAS MISSION FOR THE JSDF???

To test Juche head transplantation."

#1  These random shootings did not occur outside of the United States. Possibly the result of consensual frolicing by semen fishermen or abandonment by smugglers, or both.
