"I think Chichijima was the island where the Japanese slaughtered our prisoners of war. George HW Bush was trying to bomb that island, if I recall."
You are correct. Well documented in the book "Flyboys" by James Bradley, who also wrote "Flags of Our Fathers."

That picture looks like someone pulled one of the Easter Bunny's ears out of his head, roots and all.

Already been posted, but still pingworthy. Unfortunately, there is a little sadness at seeing another great mystery planet Earth had to offer being uncovered.
