If there has ever been a case for prenatal care and legalized abortion, this is it...

Naturally occurring uranium is only very slightly radioactive, but the difference between naturally occurring uranium and what is often termed "highly enriched" uranium (HEU) is night and day.
100 kilos of HEU has a high chance (due to nucleic decay) of reaching critical mass on its own at any given moment. Natural Uranium... meh... not so much. In fact the stuff is reasonably okay to be around, although you don't want to eat it or be exposed to it for long periods of time.
2 billion years ago (much longer than the half-life of U235) there were a few natural nuclear meltdowns when huge deposits of Uranium surpassed the decay limits. This type of thing can't happen today because so much of the U is depleted in the earth's crust.
The guy in the picture probably lived a long life and if I had to bet didn't die of cancer. If anything he is pretty lucky to be one of the few humans on earth to come across such a large deposit of such an exceedingly rare element. Uranium is almost as rare as gold.

This is just the sort of shrill, immature banality I could expect from anything that Brian Flemming is attached too. The God Who Wasn't There was pretty awful. Richard Dawkins this guy is not...

This is just the type of data that evangelicals use to "prove" that we're living in the end times. I wouldn't be surprised if you see Pat Robeterson or Jerry Falwell reference this sometime in the near future.

Wow... the camo hat is icing on the cake. Whoever put that stock photo together really knew their audience.

For the love of god please stop editorializing every pseudo-political post. Has Neatorama been bought by Faux News? NO? Then drop the act. Al Jazeera's English channel is news worthy but to say they are a "conduit of choice for terrorists" shows that you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

I don't suppose we can build a giant wall around the Milky Way to keep this Sombrero Galaxy from coming over here and steeling our low paying labor jobs and sleeping 12 to a room can we?

I'm so sick of seeing these stupid grills... What other ubiquitous fixtures on suburban America will the internet uncover next? Above Ground Pool Pumps with Wi-Fi connections? Hedges shaped like Pac-Man? Door mats with built in MP3 players? Garage doors that make Star Trek door-swooshing-sounds when they open?
How much do you want to bet that the idiot who built this thing doesn't even cook?

I too see this thing nearly every day - certainly the best work that has been on display in that space for a while.

It is despicable the way women are treated in most of the Muslim world... at the same time if they WANT to wear a head-to-toe burqa then go for it. And props to the honey on the left for taking off the veil.

Okay... really dating myself, but I remember when they sold special "cutters" which would nick the side of the floppy to make it copy protected. If you wanted to write to the disc you had to cover it with tape. Of course my memory may be failing me but I think that's how it worked. All I know is when the 3.5" disks came out with their high density and hard shell it sure did make life a lot easier...
Anyone remmeber 8" floppies?

Okay mashup... but maybe a little too much Cobra Commander.

Yeah, like that time we discovered the earth was really at the center of the solar system or that the whole thing was only 8,000 years old. Oh wait...

Yeah, they've obviously done wonders for your vocabulary, buddy.
Sorry, I stopped watching 10-seconds in when that idiot came on.
