Did Fukushima Cause Ebola?

Uh, no. I know it caused almost everything else, but not Ebola. Really.

But, hey... here's a poll anyhow...

A nephew of mine, who had been living and working here in NYC, was asked some years back to transfer to Pittsburgh (which he ultimately did). But when he told me about it, he added, "I just don't want to live in anyplace where Olive Garden is anyone's idea of fine dining!"

I know that in some places, you have to look very hard to find a good Italian restaurant, and some folks just give up. I know that I'm darned lucky to have tasty things that I never knew existed when I lived in the Pacific Northwest!

Is Fukushima contagious? What about infectious? And how is it transmitted -- what vectors should we be aware of?

How many infected with Fukushima derangement syndrome (FDS) go on to infect others?

The WHO and the CDC need to get on this right now.

You know, the same effect that is claimed that Tesla caused the Tunguska event on the exactly opposite side of the Earth as the location where Tesla was experimenting? Same thing - the Fukushima meltdown caused mutations of the germs on the opposite side of the Earth!

Seems logical!










Just in case:

He hopes the disease starts and runs rampant through the South and spreads outward to the rest of the USA and he'll go home to the other muslims as a hero and reign as their king!


Silly poll IMO so silly answer

Ebola's been documented for decades.

Unless, of course, FUKUSHIMA TIME TRAVELS. I expect to read that next in an ENEnews story. 5, 4, 3, 2, ....

Funny thing is, ENENews has some really good links, but what they write about the links utterly misrepresents the content.

Godzilla grasshoppers, that's what they are.

More seriously, I've seen more the last couple of years than in a long, long while, but I think they're eating the stinkbugs. Which is fine with me, although I'm sure the stinkbugs have a different perspective. There was one on the side of the garage when I drove up a few weeks ago, and I went over to say hello. At first it twitched and drew its wingcovers over, and then it got interested and goggled its eyes at me the way they do sometimes. I don't think it was being complimentary.

Next time I'll just flash it the "radioactive buddies" sign, and wander off.
