The second project in my Japanese class was to send an email to our teacher using typed Japanese. The most difficult part was getting my computer to actually type in Japanese. For your pleasure, I excerpt some of the email, and then translate it into English:
昨日の授業は、期末試験を受けるために、来られませんでした。私は暴走族にバットで叩かれたんです。体が痛いすぎるので、病院に行かなければらいませんでした。でも、今、なおるようになりました。
I was unable to come to yesterday's class and take the final exam. This is because I was beaten repeatedly by a biker gang who were using baseball bats. Since my body was in an excessive amount of pain, I had to go to the hospital. However, now I've gotten better.

All I can say is that it doesn't look like japanese on my computer :)

Go to the character encoding option in your browser and select "Japanese (Shift_JIS)."

Wood, aluminum or nocturnal airbore rats who enjoy American past-time?

Ogre - Baseball bats; neither wood nor aluminium is specified.
Marc - Wouldn't you?

The reason they weren't specified is the reason I had to ask.
