Just this afternoon I watched for the first time the Japanese version of the 31st 2000 episode (the ghost pirtate) after seeing a non-Japanese version. I was shocked to discover again a scene removed in the non-Japanese, but even more by the fact that the scene was educational: it described what is water pressure. Or maybe they consider that the explanation is too violent:

Yeah right... it must be too violent for kids <_<
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

I believe it was cut due to dental inaccuracies. They can be pretty strict about that kind of thing. ;)

I think you are kidding: there are many unrealistic scenes that were kept. First position: Dr. O'Shay's nose ;) Anyway they would have troubles if they had tried to remove all occurrences of Dr. O'Shay :P
May I remind this image, that do appear in the same language version where the "dental inaccuracies" scene was removed (albeit not the same episode), a classic:

Deal with realistic scenes :D
