Police in Kasai City near Kobe have arrested a 29-year-old factory worker named Yoshifumi Takabe on suspicion of burning down his own home on Sunday. The suspect reportedly doused his room with kerosene and lit it with a lighter around 2:10 p.m. on Sunday. The resulting fire eventually burned down the two-story house, which was about 250 square meters (about 2,700 square feet) and made partially from wood.

The police investigators say that the suspect had doused himself with kerosene, but had escaped the fire without injuries. His 55-year-old mother was also in the house but escaped without injuries. According to the police, the suspect said that his mother had gotten rid of his "valuable" Gundam plastic models, so he wanted to kill himself.

I honestly don't know what to say really. :\

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

did they mention what kind of Gundam was thrown out? cause if it wasn't Tequila Gundam, it deserved to be thrown out.

That's just wrong.  Then again I'm sure someone will try to kill themselves for an even stupider reason.

Why did I have a feeling I was going to be mentioned in this? I'm not going to kill myself, thats like spoiling myself with death when I want it, and i've been spoiled in my life far enough...

If you're going to kill yourself, do it in one shot.

If I had his E-Mail address, I'd send him pics of my collection.
