I'm glad someone appreciated the comment before it got buried on page 9

for serious though that article about the earthquake being triggered is STUPID

Hello, Correlation. Meet Causality!

EXPERTS REPORT BIRDS CHIRPING FOR DAYS BEFORE JAPAN EARTHQUAKE

...

the birds did it!

repost since it got buried on page 9...

now this is interesting however a bit unbelievable

HAARP Magnetometer data shows Japan earthquake was induced.

Quote :

"What is the significance of a 2.5 Hz ULF broadcast? The natural resonance of an earthquake is 2.5 Hz. Scientists working for the United States military discovered this using the phased array antennas at the HAARP facility in Alaska. HAARP’s own charts suggests that earthquakes occurred constantly for 3 days. We know for a fact that they haven’t. The HAARP magnetometer data provides proof that the Japan earthquake was not a naturally occurring quake – it was triggered."

Snewf I like your explanation...hahahaha. I don't believe it for a minute but I have no evidence to the contrary.

The 100-year battle to make Fukushima safe: Grim prediction as brave workers expect to 'die within weeks'

Quote :

"Dr John Price, a former member of the Safety Policy Unit at the UK's National Nuclear Corporation, said radiation leaks will continue and it could take 50 to 100 years before the nuclear fuel rods have cooled enough to be removed. According to ABC News, Dr Price said: 'As the water leaks out, you keep on pouring water in, so this leak will go on forever. 'There has to be some way of dealing with it. The water is connecting in tunnels and concrete-lined pits at the moment and the question is whether they can pump it back. 'The final thing is that the reactors will have to be closed and the fuel removed, and that is 50 to 100 years away."

Why would take it so long for the rods to cool? Someone knowledgeable in this please enlighten us. How can anything stay hot for so long?

Quote :

"The Fukushima 50 expect to die within a matter of weeks as they work in dangerously high radiation trying to keep the temperatures of the destroyed reactors down at the nuclear plant, fresh images of which were released today."

As usual, awesome pics in The Daily Mail link above.

In other news, I do feel bad for them. This is better than watching a celebrity train wreck because I care about the outcome here, but it's still staring at a wreck.

4/7/2011 11:29:33 AM

well, that's one way to cool them down...

so when the radioactive waste leaks into the ocean how long do they have to get out before godzilla is created?

I'm pretty sure God is trying to level that place.

I think they're calling them aftershocks still. Said try could get them for up to a year afterwards.

4/12/2011 11:31:06 PM

I'm sick of this bullshit about rescuing dogs. People need to STOP donating money to Japan. First off, they are one of the most wealthy nations in the world and will get through this, second of all, they are pooling resources to go in and rescue pets. We don't need to be giving relief money to save the lives of dogs when there are people thorughout the world who are starving and have BEEN starving for decades. Send your money to Sudan, Haiti, and Burna.

people are more capable of fending for themselves than domesticated animals who rely on us for food/shelter. To suddenly abondon them is terrible.

4/13/2011 12:54:22 AM

Fuck the people in haiti sudan and burna. They have brains. They need to use them or die.

4/13/2011 1:05:45 AM

How can a brain fix a situation where there is no food or arable land? You can't just walk into the first world and have everything handed to you.

[Edited on April 13, 2011 at 1:13 AM. Reason : japan has money and can fix their own mess. ]

A brain would tell you to get the fuck out of that situation and find somewhere with food and/or arable land. Duh.

If your brain can't communicate that to you. Then darwin's law must lay it's gavel down and execute you from the genepool. Seriously.
