Mr. Letterman forced me to go bankrupt

I'm sorry, WHAT?
My God....An American woman has sent fond messages to David Letterman and now seems to think he used "code words, gestures and eye expressions" to cause her "mental cruelty, sleep deprivation and forced her to go bankrupt". Sure. That's America, boys and girls. She filed a restraining order. Now Mr. Letterman is seeking justice.

Remembering Nagasaki

I saw this document (Trinity and Beyond - The Atomic Bomb Movie) about atomic bombs which was narrated by William Shatner. In the beginning it was said that in Nagasaki 39% of the buildings were destroyed. I was left wondering.....how can one define 39% of the buildings? I bet some were partially damaged and others weren't standing at all.... hmmm...were there any standing tall?

Also see the photographs taken by Yosuke Yamahata on August 10th 1945.
