30 Year Birthday Party

Sounds interesting. We've discussed having a SF meetup in the past on here, but it never came to anything, so this may be the ideal opportunity for some of us on here to meet in person.[Happosai]

Dr. Benn or Dr. Ben?

In Japanese, you would normally address a doctor as '[family name]-sensei'.In the X Bomber Encyclopedia, his name is written in katakana as 'Dokutoru Ben', which is phonetic for 'Doctor Ben', or just 'Doctor'.
