Nice day for it

On Fukushima

The nuclear disaster has got nothing on Chernobyl. Absolutely nothing. The Chernobyl reactor had no containment vessel, and coolant valves were jammed closed. Keep in mind that Soviet engineers had to don swimming suits and navigate the cooling pipes in order to re-open the coolant valves. Three engineers dived into the coolant pipes, one was holding a waterproof torch that failed halfway through the attempt. The engineers successfully re-opened the coolant valves by feel. All the while the water that they were swimming in was radiolysing into Hydrogen(g) and hydrogen peroxide(aq).

So reporters takling about the hydrogen footprint can sod off. They are so hot to talk about 'ZOMG RADIOASHUN 2 TEH PPLZ'.

Please give the elderly their vegetables. Please.

 

Tuberosities

Was thinking about using Fimo or Sculpey clay (the stuff that you mold and then put in the oven) but I had some old potatoes on top of the fridge.

Maybe another way to do it is to print an MRI on paper and trace out the slice profile of each bone onto a slice of potato, then 'reconstruct' them.

Revolution across Muslim world spreads to Coburg

 Thousands of people demonstrated peacefully for political reform in the seat of Wills in Coburg and surrounds, and in Western suburbs on Friday, with opposition forces drawing the largest crowds since the weekly Friday protests began eight weeks ago. The opposition also expanded its demands.

CNN have made helpful little infographics here on their website to help people understand the delicate political situation developing outside Kozanoglu Pharmacy:

'We also demand that Kelvin Thompson resign. We have had enough of his shoddy leadership', protestor  Marouf al-Bakhit of the 'Coburg is pretty all right' group exclaimed.

 

 

The BBC's John Simpson has this on Kelvin Thompson: "He's not without his supporters, they appear regularly on SBS TV. But the obedience and total silence he has imposed on the suburb as a whole have come to an end."
