Notice the date. It was quite obvious that something would happen soon. But the idiots (me including) couldn't see what was coming. Also, IIRC, the PPI is "revised" after a few months.

I once tried to get some data from Japan, and everything was in japanese characters - that crazy mix of Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Arabic numbers and a few Roman words.
