Uncle Sams Auntie Seems To Think So…
Maybe it’s a good thing we decided to bomb Libya so that the country’s attention could be diverted. Apparently Charlie Sheen’s meltdown wasn’t a big enough draw. – Japan’s population of 135 million is crammed into a space slightly smaller than the state of California and faces at least two reactors melting down mere yards from the sea… While Chernobyl was a single reactor meltdown that never reached groundwater and it’s plume affected an area several times larger.

Apparently thousands of people are buying up Cold War era Geiger counters and dosimeters from ebay and other places on the web… If you’re one of them or considering it… Keep in mind that those things read in Roentgens. Most of the levels quoted today are in MilliSieverts and Sieverts. You’ll need this conversion chart to make any sense of the scales on those old CD units. Or you can keep the weight of water conversion in mind. 1 Sievert = 8.3 Roentgens.

In the city of Heze, China… You put your life in the balance every time you drive through this intersection. But… As graphic and horrible as this video is… Can you count how many times the “victim” seems to be at fault? And how many of these poor folks seem to be riding bicycles, motorcycles and scooters?
This video doesn’t help much towards dispelling the old stereotype about Chinese drivers…
YouTube Punked Out And Removed The Vid… So Like Everything Else… We’ll Get It From China.
