Mythbusters to Test Cockroach Radiation Myth
redwoodtree writes "An article on the site for the Tri-City Herald sums it up perfectly: 'Contrary to popular belief, not a significant amount of research goes into cockroach radiation.' To test the old saw about 'the cockroaches being the only survivors of a nuclear war' Discovery Channel's Mythbusters are going out to Hanford Site, where plutonium was manufactured for the first nuclear bomb. It's the single most polluted nuclear waste site in the U.S. The Mythbusters are going to take cockroaches and other insects and apply successively higher doses of radiation in a controlled setting."
Yeah, but how will they do stuff to Kari that won't cause permanent damage to her DNA?
I wish Mythbusters could do the same thing for quantum computing but unfortunately, the superposition of quantum states only occurs when nobody is looking. Kind of convenient, don't you think? So much for empiricism. ahahaha... At any rate, Mythbusters is not about uncovering myths, but about making sure their own chosen myths remain beyond public scrutiny. The same is true for Slashdot and their chosen censors, uh... moderators, BTW. Thanks for the laughs, anyway. ahahaha... AHAHAHA... ahahaha...
Now, moderators, do your solemn duty. ahahaha...
You just called all non-christians immoral--how delightfully evil of you! May the mods have mercy on your soul.
A slashdotter who didn't build his own computer is like a Jedi who didn't build his own lightsaber.
I, for one, welcome our irradiated cockroach overlords.
What has a Buddist ever done? China is full of Buddists and look at them. Poor, dirty, smelly, almost animals. For 5000 years. They're still not free, and they lack the spirit to even want the freedom any man would want. On the other hand, the USA, a Christian nation, prosperous almost immediately, a shining example to the world. Morality yields a certain kind of nation - our Christian nation. I know it's not fashionable to call other races heathens and other religions immoral and depraved, but that's why morality is hard. And if Christianity isn't defended everywhere and expressed through abundant living in a Christian nation, then we'll sink to the level of animals, like the non-Christian nations.
It ain't popular, but it's true.

My daddy was rich, but I am a self made man. He loaned me $10 million to start my own business, but I paid him back every penny. Don't tell me I got my money from my dad, or from anybody else. I earned it all without help, by my own hard work and discipline.
