Radiation Absorbing Mineral Found In the Arctic

An anonymous reader writes "A mineral has recently been found that exhibits the astounding property of being able to remove radiation from water-based solutions. 'After coming into contact with the mineral, radioactive water becomes completely safe. Had this mineral been available to physicists after the Chernobyl or Three Mile Island disasters, the consequences might have been very different, as both accidents resulted in contamination from radioactive water.' Also, the article notes that although only grams of the material have been found, tons of it are needed; they are confident they could artificially reproduce it."

[Reagan] was one of the worst presidents we've ever had by any metric ...

Yes, but he played national doddering grandfather so well; how could anyone not love him?

One of my all-time favorite cartoons was just after the 1988 election, showing a smiling Ronald Reagan walking in the door and shouting out "Nancy! I got the part!!!"
