    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Yeah, but, nothing bad happened to him after he died of stomach cancer (which is common in Japan, btw).

          That morning, while he was being berated by his supervisor as "crazy" after describing how one bomb had destroyed the city,

          That helps remind you of how slow the news could be back then. A nuclear bomb destroys a city in your country and 3 days later people haven't heard of it.

                There is a standing joke that Ringo wrote into the Posleen War series...It concerns a soldier named Buckley. All through the series of books, Buckley undergoes a series of extremely unfortunate events (blow your arm off with an antimatter grenade, anyone?) culminating in his death and subsequently being electronically reborn as an AI so paranoid that the invading aliens can't hack it.

                He's often referred to as the unluckiest man in the universe.
