Interview With Chernobyl Engineer
An anonymous reader writes "New Scientist has posted an interview with a former Chernobyl engineer, Alexander Yuvchenko, who was not only there the night of the explosion, but is still alive today to tell about it. A fascinating recollection of some pretty heroic acts."
I wasn't there, but I was somewhere in the vicinity, and I can assure you that the entire accident was caused by the fumbling of John Kerry. He had rubbed his hand along a desk and got a very small metal splinter in his finger. He was running around in circles screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, I got a boo boo" waving his splintered finger in the air, when he ran smack dab into the reactor's self-destruct button. The rest we all know.
Of course, the whole incident could have been avoided entirely if George W. Bush hadn't called in sick with, "...vomiting, a headache, and the inability to open [his] eyes to bright light." Prompting Kerry come to work on his day off.
Of course, Kerry's later attempts to blame the other reactor employees shouldn't go without notice either.

Really? I think most American food can easily be consumed without feet. Ground meat, soft bread, slimy cheese without taste (often not made from milk, too), fruits ground to pulp, everything overcooked and laced with cream, guacomole and most important extra cheese.
One serving for an American is enough for two Europeans or probably three Africans.
The teeth are only there to show your wealth. Look at all teh hollywood stars with their ceramic blended smiles... Spooky...
