The Japanese Are Awesome: Chapter One Billion

10 December 2008 | 12:48 PM

I know I sound like a bit of a broken record here, but god freaking bless the Japanese. Here in the states, our zoos prepare for the unlikely situation wherein a captive rhinoceros escapes its enclosure and runs amok by writing up documentation on what to do and putting it in a binder (probably one labeled “PANIC!”). Our friends from the land of the rising sun, though, don’t just rely on what some pencil-necked paper-pushing bureaucrat says they should do. Rather, they make themselves a fake rhino and play such an incident out to make sure all bases are covered:

Well, that settles it: if I’ve got to be stuck in a zoo while a two-ton horned animal is rampaging about, I want to make damned certain it’s a Japanese zoo. Although, I have to say, I’m not completely confident in their abilities: after all, some of those security personnel look awfully familiar.
