Mar 25 2009Wow: Man Survived Two Atomic Bombings
93-year old Tsutomu Yamaguchi was recently recognized as the first survivor of both the Nagasaki and Hiroshima atomic bomb droppings of 1945. Allegedly, he still pisses depleted uranium.
Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki just in time for the second attack, city officials said.
"As far as we know, he is the first one to be officially recognized as a survivor of atomic bombings in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki," Nagasaki city official Toshiro Miyamoto said.Thousands of survivors continue to seek official recognition after the government rejected their eligibility for compensation. The government last year eased the requirements for being certified as a survivor, following criticism the rules were too strict and neglected many who had developed illnesses that doctors have linked to radiation
Speaking of radiation, I want some freaking superpowers already -- and I'm not afraid to go atomic to get them. Atomic Fireballs that is! *CRUNCH* ZOMG, too hot, too hot!!!

I don't mind Daisy... I can't stand Poop!
This guy is tha bomb....get it....get it.... it's a joke....get it.....?
5. Ryan - March 25, 2009 12:49 PM
I get it. It's not funny.
He could have died there.
But, it would be pretty ironic if he died from something insignificant like a paper cut or a trip down the stairs....

He's probably thinking "What a brother gotta do to get some fries around here?"
9. Ryan - March 25, 2009 12:58 PM
Yeah, He's like the real- life Gordon freeman, except he's not American, He doesn't have a crowbar, crossbow, guns, alyx, D0G, a HEV suit, G-man, or a mission to save the human race.

TINA TURNER
Well the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
You dont think of them as human
You dont think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall
Chorus
I'm YOUR PRIVATE DANCER
A DANCER FOR MONEY
ILL DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
I'm YOUR PRIVATE DANCER
A DANCER FOR MONEY
ANY OLD MUSIC WILL DO
I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
Repeat chorus twice
Deutschmarks or dollars
American express will nicely thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me do you wanna see me do the shimmy again
Repeat chorus

21. Pat - March 25, 2009 1:45 PM

22. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - March 25, 2009 1:51 PM
@25 - Holy f*ck you're right. You're smart.
And he's not even hiding the fact that he stole it from foundit, who probably stole it from stumbleupon .... What's worse, he stole your comment from you, Vicko. He's stealing from everybody. F * CK
PEOPLE!!! we have to stop stealing things
23. naas - March 25, 2009 2:12 PM
ahh japan....
24. naas - March 25, 2009 2:22 PM
@22 Shum, new quote?
25. $.02 and a pocket full of FAH-Q - March 25, 2009 2:24 PM
22- I know!
26. Jim Jones - March 25, 2009 2:35 PM
I think the real headline should be, "Unluckiest Man Found Still Alive"
27. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - March 25, 2009 2:52 PM
@naas
Nope. Just screwing with some douche from the beef sundae thread.
28. naas - March 25, 2009 3:15 PM
Got it shum. There seem to be a few of them hanging around lately, ever since the tina turner(ahmsoftlicous.lyrics started popping up all the time
29. therush - March 25, 2009 3:29 PM
Um, why are we just learning about this now? This guy is a badass of the highest order. Though Jim Jones or whoever is right. Imagine him back in Nagasaki, telling all his Japanese friends about the crazy shit he witnessed. Then he hears a plane flying overhead and thinks "you've got to be kidding me you goddam Kami" (I assume he's Shinto).

i feel bad for the guy, its like a hurrican ripping up your first home and if you are lucky enough to have a second, it rips it up too. if that happened to me after the first one i'd just say "oh fu.ck it" and run outside and lay down
34. Lee Harless - March 25, 2009 6:22 PM
I'm so sorry that this man had to go through this. He has seen the worst that man has to offer.
35. ech0z - March 25, 2009 7:01 PM
