One of my favorite Gilligans Island episodes [View all]

Yesterday we marked the passing of the Professor of Gilligans Island and up popped the following story

Japan's last WWII straggler soldier, 91, dies--http://news.msn.com/obits/japans-last-wwii-straggler-soldier-91-dies

Gilligans Island did an episode about a lost Japanese submarine sailor who was still fighting the war- this was before this solider "surrendered".

Just admiring the irony
