Mushrooms And Geiger Counters
jonerik writes "This article in the New York Times details the efforts being undertaken by Moscow food inspectors to keep radioactive produce out of the city's open-air markets and off of dinner tables. And the efforts are paying off, with seizures of 'hot' produce up by 10% so far this year vs. last year. Laced with cesium and strontium thanks to the radioactivity released by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, forest produce (including berries and mushrooms) is more difficult to track than farm produce, but the inspectors apparently manage to keep on top of it, with one exception: Old babushkas who sell illegal produce from the sides of streets and who city officials are hesitant to crack down on."
Correction: Russian Babushka's collecting radioactive mushrooms to sell at market.
That definitely does not rock. Your other point is well taken though. Tell me, which do you think is better: The BMW X5, the Mercedes ML320, or the not-yet-released Porsche Cayenne? Thanks.
If tits were wings it'd be flying around.
Go fuck yourself.
If you're going to get your pants all twisted about a 'mac.com' address (yes, I paid for it), you might wanna note the exceptionally high-quality SID on my account, fuckface. #458, and it ain't getting any bigger.
And, actually, living in Germany, I quite enjoy scat flicks. Terribly high-quality stuff!
They definitely rock.

Actually, I think its the other way around: your jab missed me.
And no, I'm not German. I'm Australian. I live in Germany.
I don't give a crap for car elitism, either.
