If your dog doesnt bark when the doorbell rings, its either deaf, or dead.

My daughter came back to live with me and she bought her dog with her, the thing is when there's someone in the house the dog will bark if someone come through the door or rings the bell, but if the dog is in on her own she doesn't make a sound when one of us enters the house just lays on her bed and doesn't move.

.I was reading an article about a Japanese guy who was in Hiroshima on business when the atom bomb fell. Even though he was injured and as there were no medical facilities in Hiroshima, he made his way home. He was at home in Nagasaki when the second atom bomb was dropped. He survived that as well.

So, the question is...did he use his super powers for good or evil?

Perhaps in his altered form, he was the inspiration for the first Manga comics.
