At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

Well, John...there is this little invention called a television...and being of "legal age", I think I'm allowed to watch said
invention without my parents consent...but this has gotten off the "mark" of this thread....I was just making standard
observation about Dex's reference to my "memory refresher techniques" and stating that maybe using said "bunnies"
as a "secret weapon" instead of said ref. to "that" technique, which has been in the headlines, of late.   As NQP, I cannot comment on the topic, other than to say what I said before...but Dex did mention my name, so that is "why" I made comment, at all. 

Ah, yes, Dave...there were "many" colorful stories related...by Dex and Ray...and the "other members" of the Swine of the Highest Order" and yes, much laughter and basic silliness ensued at the conclusion of each of those tales...and I still have the "bruises" to prove it...basic face and rib bruises from the laughter...but nothing I haven't heard from my own "bubblehead".

Thank you, Jon...I thought maybe I had "committed" a mortal sin by being aware of "said environ" known as a "bunny ranch".
