WWII bomb found in Japan
CONSTRUCTION workers in western Japan have uncovered an unexploded one-ton (2,000-pound) bomb believed to have been dropped during U.S. air raids in World War II, officials said today.
Ground Self Defense Forces are studying how to remove the bomb, which still has its fuse intact and is dangerous, Osaka City spokesman Hiroyuki Ushio said.
The bomb, about 1.8-meters (5.9 feet) long and 60 centimeters (24 inches) in diameter, was unearthed Tuesday at a residential construction site, local police said.
Such bombs were often used by U.S. forces in World War II, Ushio said.
"Defusing it could take some time because this is an unusually large bomb," Ushio said, adding that it was likely local residents would be ordered to evacuate before a bomb squad tries to defuse it. Osaka, Japan's second-largest city, is about 400 kilometers (255 miles) west of Tokyo.
Workers in Japan frequently dig up unexploded bombs from U.S. attacks or arms hidden by the Japanese during the closing days of the war.

Ever see the movie "Don't Be A Menace....."? It was a spoof on "hood" movies. The father was younger than the son. Hilarious.
