Women's Institute Consulted on Nuclear Waste

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the pull-a-name-from-the-hat dept.

Leon Stringer writes "The Guardian is reporting that the Womens' Institute is being asked for their views on the disposal of nuclear waste while senior scientists resign in protest of being ignored. What members of the public would you like to design nuclear waste storage facilities?"

    As a senior member of the Lufthansa-pudding party, I advocate putting all matters regarding nuclear waste in the hands of mustachioed women.

    Liberalism must be preserved in the forum!!

    The "scientists" in question are probably Intelligent Design GOONs.

    The bastard who designed the shrink wrap on CD-Rs. You know the one, where you pull the little tape that splits the plastic coating except it snaps so you run your nail along it except it's so bloody flexible that it won't tear. Then you have to get a really sharp knife and cut it scoring the jewel case. I mean for f***s sake, if getting a CD out of a wrapper can be made such a pain in the arse by a thin bit of plastic just think the container he/she could make if given enough steel, lead and time.....

    And another thing.. F***king blister packs that need a friggin scalpel to open... NNNNNNNRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH,.,..... World turning red..... can't think...... I think I'm lapsing into unconciou

    1.8026175 × 10^12 furlongs per fortnight

    Shouldn't that be 1.8026139 x 10^12 furlongs per fortnight? Or are your furlongs slightly shorter than mine, or your fortnights longer? Or are you referring to something that is slightly faster than light in a vacuum?

    Also, why bother with the scientific notation? I prefer:

    1,802,613,894,550 furlongs per fortnight

    That's not exact, of course.
