Thanks for the welcome, Tench, it's good to be here.

I was watching the Disney-made Pearl Harbor (I know, I know, it's a monstrosity in historical accuracy...) earlier and was rather moved by the scene where the US sailors went down with their ships. Then I came across this gem while surfing, and was REALLY, REALLY p'd off by the line
"Reuters news agency quoted a statement from the shrine that said it was reviewing all the museum's exhibits - and would be seeking the opinions of experts - in line with the fifth anniversary of its renovation.

"In order to make the exhibits more substantial, we will also review the historical accounts," the statement said."

I guess they don't have any history books in Japan that they must consult "experts" about what I learned as 7th grade history...

What does IBTZ stand for?
