Off topic but interesting, at least to me

Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a 93-year-old Japanese man, has been officially certified by his government as having survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki A-bomb attacks in 1945.

Yamaguchi was on business in Hiroshima when he suffered radiation burns in the first attack. He then went home to Nagasaki just in time to get another dose 3 days later.

We suppose he's either the luckiest or the unluckiest man alive, depending on one's perspective.

Way off topic; I'm smiling at the thought that you can be off topic on your own blog. :^)

Remarkable that a guy could be at both of them and still live to be 93, though.
