    This can't beat Junichiro Koizumi; the most anime-looking PM ever.

    @scifigene: I thought Hugh Hefner bought Venus back in the sixties. He believed all those pulpy stories about Venusian babes.

    Only in Japan would your wife admitting to bring abducted by aliens NOT be political suicide.

    @Jesse Astle: I dunno, President Ronald Reagan admitted seeing a UFO and it didn't hurt his political career that much.

    This stuff isn't even the best part - you have to read her explanation about how her and her husband eat the sun. Spoiler: It's warm.

    "While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus... It was a very beautiful place and it was really green."

    Do they not have a word for "dream" in Japanese?

    @Franklin Harris: I think it was an overly literal translation of her attempt to describe an out-of-boy experience.

    @gorehound: Yeah, her description sounds like a pulp science fiction story from before our space probes had any accurate data, when they assumed those clouds were made of water vapor.

    @Bill-Lee: Not exactly. If you read it in Japanese too it's exactly that. No "dream" or "out of body experience"... just "I flew on a spaceship" blah blah blah.

    @GreyHammer: Um, well, I kinda think she's a babe. But most of the women in my wife have had multiple college degrees, so what you and I think of as attractive may differ somewhat.

    @GreyHammer:
    Who started the rumor she was intelligent? I've read her college papers... there's a lot more anger in there then intelligence.

    As for "attractive," she's a dog compared to Carla Bruni. She can wear all the sleeveless dresses she wants, but she's not foolin' the world.
